lyrics

Hello, could I ask you for your light or even more?
"For sure", you said
I know never too expect too much
But with just a touch
You've left everything I could ask for in the dust

When the silence becomes overwhelming
And I start to drift away
I feel your arms so gently wrap me
As you pull me in to say
"I'm no stranger to the pain
So let me be the one to keep you sane"

If I were ocean floor
And you the seven seas
Then I'd feel the weight of water
Pressing all around me
If I could help you grow
The way that soil grows the trees
Then I'd want for nothing more than
To sustain you patiently

Now I've had my heart broken a couple times
But I've never felt it lift so high
So if one day you have to let me fall
Every single moment would have been worth it all

When I struggle to find happiness
You never fail to make me smile
And hold me close to share your warmth
As we forget the world for a little while
And you say
"I'm no stranger to the pain
So let me be the one to keep you sane"

If I were ocean floor
And you the seven seas
Then I'd feel the weight of water
Pressing all around me
If I could help you grow
The way that soil grows the trees
Then I'd want for nothing more than
To sustain you patiently

And I'll wait for you
If that's what it takes to have you in my arms again
A thousand days would be worth it to see your
Smiling face
Radiate and cast my darkness away
Till another day

Words can't say it
Eyes can't see it
Hands can't touch it
But I can feel it
Words can't say it
Eyes can't see it
Hands can't touch it
But I can feel it

And even when you're thousands of miles away
And I'm yearning for the days that didn't feel so gray
I think of all the times when you said you'd stay
Regardless of how long it has to be this way
And I know you meant it
Cause when I look into your eyes and say it back
I mean it too

For this love, we must endure
Cause I've never needed anyone this bad before
This feeling's so damn heavy that it makes me cry
Don't know if I can carry it but I'll damn sure try
