lyrics

Mary says she's lost
Pulls her hair back as I toss and turn on our stolen bed frame
Dawn begins to warm the windowpane
Her eyes rip through mine
Making a wake that leaves me blind
And all I wanna do is hold her tight

I remember when I met her
I told myself I'd never let her feel a single ache again
But I'm the weak one in the end
Ever since that kiss when I worked up the nerve to finally whisper
"Let me stay the night."

Won't you come down from your moon
This will all be over soon
I'll hold my hands above you
The sky won't fall
I'll take you far away from here
Somewhere from our yesteryears
When the world was big and we were small

Mary needs something to give
She says that she can't live off written words and vacant vows
Her cradle rocks on breaking bows
I have been like her before
Beating against the closing doors
Like waves that push the tide and never cease

I remember being sixteen
Pouring my heart into six strings
Hoping that one day I'd meet someone who makes me complete
But there is more to her
Than just one thing to feel secure
I just wish I could be her missing piece

Won't you come down from your moon
This will all be over soon
I'll hold my hands above you
The sky won't fall
I'll take you far away from here
Somewhere from our yesteryears
When the world was big and we were small

And if it's true that fools rush in
I guess that makes me Harlequin
I'll juggle all your fears and sorrows
Make you laugh, forget tomorrow
Cuz I know you've got time
Even if I'll never change your mind
You know I'm gonna try
