I wanted to save you

Give breath that escaped you

But you stayed down (stayed down)

To resuscitate you

Breath my breath back into you

You stayed out (stayed out)

I wanted to shake you

To scream to awaken you

You stayed down (stayed out)

In your slumber you saw everything

Everything but me

Why must we stop?

Why must we stop now?

Why must you crush our glow?

Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Don't remake our heaven

I wanted to save us

Wept words that escaped us

But you stayed out (you shut them out)

I fell down to face you

To find you were wakeful

And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now

In your slumber you saved everything

Everything but me

Why must we stop?

Why must we stop now?

Why must you crush our glow?

Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Don't remake our heaven

Why must we stop?

Why must we stop now?

Why must you crush our glow?

Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Don't erase our heaven
