Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey
[Verse 2]
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay, yeah
Lay spread out before me
As her body once did, mmm
[Verse 3]
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun, yeah
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
[Verse 4]
Mmm, and all I taught her was
Everything, that's all
Mmm, how quick the sun can
Drop away
[Verse 5]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything all the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Verse 6]
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play, ooh
Oh, I can feel their laughter, oh
So why do I sear?
[Verse 7]
Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head, I'm spinnin'
Oh, I'm spinnin', how quick the sun can
Drop away
[Verse 8]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything all the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Verse 9]
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
[Verse 10]
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Oh, can't it be mine?
[Verse 11]
We, we belong, we belong together
Together, we, we
We, we belong
We belong together, yeah
