Silver

We were alive when we were young

We were the salt of the fucking earth

No one could tell us right from wrong

You were a fountain and I couldn't drink enough

Back when you told me your parents were moving

I knew we were living on borrowed time

But I swear we can make this work if you say that we'll try

The distance is but a number of hours spent

From days, to weeks, to months when I can barely find the rent

But i'll be your armour, and i'll splint your spine

I'll be your guiding light, if you'll only be mine

(If you'll only be mine)

I sang about the weather, about its dependability

And I hoped that one day soon i'd use the tricks that you taught me

But I can't, oh I can't, it's sad, but true

I'll still be ever dependent on you.

I just wanted to call and put this to rest

I just wish I could see you and get it all off my chest

I think I wanted it more, and I think you wanted it less

Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less

I want to be something bigger, someone better

Than the sum of all my parts

I want to feel like I matter, when it matters

I want to know I played my part

I think I wanted it more and I think you wanted it less

Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less

I sang about the weather, about its dependability

And I hoped that one day soon i'd use the tricks that you taught me

But I can't, oh I can't, it's sad, but true

I'll still be ever dependent on you.

Like the day we met outside your school

The rain it came down it was too cold for you

We said we'd make an effort to patch up the distance

But some weeks that's hard to do

Ever dependent on you.
