Lyrics & Translation

[English]

And in the middle of the night

I may watch you go

There'll be no value in the strength

Of walls that I have grown

There'll be no comfort in the shade

Of the shadows thrown

But I'd be yours, if you'd be mine

Stretch out my life

And pick the seams out

Take what you like

But close my ears and eyes

Watch me stumble over and over

I had done wrong

You build your tower

But call me home

And I will build a throne

And wash my eyes out, never, again

But love the one you hold

And I will be your goal

To have and to hold

The lover of the light

With skin too tight

And eyes like marbles

You spin me high

So watch me as I glide

Before I tumble homeward, homeward

I know I've tried

I was not stable

And flawed by pride

I miss my sanguine eyes

So hold my hands up, breathe in and breathe out

So love the one you hold

And I'll be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the light

...

And in the middle of the night

I may watch you go

There'll be no value in the strength

Of walls that I have grown

There'll be no comfort in the shade

Of the shadows thrown

You may not trust the promises

Of the change I'll show

But I'd be yours if you'd be mine

...

So love the one you hold

And I'll be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the lights

So love the one you hold

And I will be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the light

...
