Paris

Ivyrise


Line up the stars 
And what do you see
A picture of me 
Or an image that's lost
Turn down the heat 
And what do you get 
A slowing heartbeat 
Frozen in time

Line up the tides 
And what do you see 
A breaking wave 
Of lost opportunity
Turn up the heat 
And what do you find 
With quicker heartbeats 
Comes a quickening of time

Take a hint now 
I took your heart out
You didn't need it 
And couldn't feel it
You're feeling empty 
But now 
There's plenty more
If only I had made it 
Finally to you

Turn up the sound 
That pierces through
A crashing symbol 
When a whisper will do
Line up the waves 
On top of the sea
Horizons changing 
Like it's 
Changing scenery

This odyssey has left me 
Downing in the sea
It's times like these 
That bring a city 
To it's knees
So why not just cry
Why not just cry
