Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'd be yours, if you'd be mine
[Verse 2]
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Take what you like
But close my ears and eyes
Watch me stumble over and over
[Verse 3]
I had done wrong
You build your tower
But call me home
And I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again
[Verse 4]
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
The lover of the light
[Verse 5]
With skin too tight
And eyes like marbles
You spin me high
So watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
[Verse 6]
I know I've tried
I was not stable
And flawed by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up, breathe in and breathe out
[Verse 7]
So love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
[Verse 8]
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'd be yours, if you'd be mine
[Verse 9]
So love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
[Verse 10]
So love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
