There's something in your eyes today you're simply not the same

I wanna be the catalyst that makes it all okay

You're trying to write a letter in the rhythms of your breath

We start to say but now we've talked this elephant to death

Cause your bones are your own

your bones are your own

your bones are your own

You went out on the ocean on a solitary raft

I wanna bring a lifeboat but it only holds you back

You're blind with salty water, desperate but free

And soon you'll find an island a place I'll never see

I don't want to be your hero just to be your friend

Just to speak your language

Just to be a respite

I tried to read your needs like you're a novel in turmoil

Like you are the main character and I am just the foil
