We were born without time
Nameless in the arms of a mother, a father and God
When the world would wait for us
A thousand years in the crush of our eyes, fearless and awed
Quietly we'd fade into sleep
With nothing on our minds
Then we longed to be loved
In the rush we'd become some things we thought we'd never be
We were surprised by how hard
Left wary and scarred from the nights spent feeling incomplete
And all those evenings swearing at the sky
Wishing for more time
All the promises we broke when we tried
Were just wasting all our time
We grow old all at once
And it comes like a punch in the gut, in the back, in the face
When it seems someone's lied
And our parents have died and we hold onto each other in their place
And I feel the water rising around us
Maybe that's OK
Yeah, I feel the world changing all at once
I guess it'll be OK
And we all had one hope there was someone looking down
To return our bodies to each other and the ground
