Lyrics

A simple question grew so high.
Mountains were made out of small talk.
Would you beg for a smile,
without luck on your side,
in the shadows of the long faces that I find?
You say we're in way over our heads.
New ones find the path of least resistance
and slip through miles and miles of lost love
for as far and sure as chance goes.
A simple question grew to tower over me.
Now I hate to see your faces turn so long
and pale as all the dreams that lifted yesterday.
I imagine those will soon be gone.
Clear as water flowing from the top of the stairs
and whispered through the weathered yellow walls,
the softest questions have thrown you.
Will we wake up with our heads at all?
