lyrics

its been light long enough to see all the sites and all this time
ive heard the twisting of your tounge in my sleep each night
its been so bright here on this hill
perfect for still life photographs taken through window sills
of ships as theyre sailing
our new friends flaling thier arms
but behind this glass
our time is passing so fast

all the houses on those city streets
hold all the people in the world i'd like to meet
but life does not provide the time before you die
so every hand i hold is multiplied
by a hundred lives in an attempt to assuage my mind
and feel at ease because at least i know i tried

these dreams of mine
flash in the night a fleeting moment lost in time
a dancing princess stops and calmly holds her eyes
it was enthralling up until
the sun set slowly now the only thing thats left to fill
our eyes are white diamonds
and veins of red lightning that say
it will never be as easy
as "how do you do, i love you but now its time to leave"

but all the houses on those city streets
ive yet to see hold all those people still to meet
it tears your heart apart if you truly try
cause every hand i hold is a love of mine
with a handshake that unfolds into a wave goodbye
you see so many by the time you die

so every hand i hold is multiplied
by a hundred lives in an attempt to assuage my mind
and feel at ease becasue i least i know i tried
