a perfect idea she had then to tussle 'fore we sleep
fought the why-nots that we make
then we laid there together, make separate pictures in our minds
of the forms that you would take
swimming to the surface
to justify our lives
left the ripples upon the lake
and we will think forever of a moment in time
and a breath that you could not make
you still keep us awake (4x)
just enough time to memorize lines, to touch and taste your face
a glimpse into forever and the empty aching lungs
and a breath that you could not make
you still keep us awake (4x)
ripples on the surface, drops in the sea
we are nothing no matter how long we stay
but i can still remember all the colors of the sky
please forgive us as we make our way
you still keep us awake (8x)
