lyrics

Will Time Make Us Heroes?

February finding my hands tucked in my coat
Warm wind reminding of the one I love the most
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one

Crown of summer in your river
Ice water to our knees
The sun runs outs the shiver
amongst the old stones and the leaves
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one

CHORUS
And what am I to you now a lover or a host?
Will time make us heroes enemies or ghosts?
What am I to you now a crater or a coast?
Will time make us heroes?

You rest your head on my shoulder
drink the honey from my hands
heaven held it's gate closed
so we gave earth another chance
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one

A gentle overlapping
two last names mixed with dust
a fragile overpassing
with a soft, delicate crust
a blanket laid down for napping
a hand I could trust
Will time make us heroes?

In the morning you kiss my forehead
pull the blankets to my throat
you ride to work with a warm thermos
playing cards in your spokes
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one

CHORUS

Never mind rewinding
or the words that went unspoken
You were the light behind me
you were the arcade's token
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one

CHORUS
