Tracing the Lines

Once when you were young

The summer bit and stung

The sun got stuck it never ends

Save up every scar

Inside a broken jar

To buy a future you pretend

Time is on our side

We've got it roped and tied

We've got it eating from our hand

It's not the old ways

It's not the end of days

That keeps us up all night

Tracing the lines down your face

Tracing the lines running down your face

Tracing the lines I can't erase, oh no

But I can try

Now I'm mesmerized

Sunshine in my eyes

Moving out of time

Moonlight by the line

Now you close your eyes

What do you see inside

Is it the darkness or the day?

When you turn to me

What do you think you'll see

Is it the boy you sent away?

The light goes, the wind blows

Oh but heaven knows

We are the one who will decide

It's not the fear of death

Or being out of breath

That keeps us up all night
