lyrics

We were strong like some down south sun rays,
and I loved you in so many new ways.
I breathed easy when you held me close.

Like a mountain, we reached to the heavens,
lived life like we knew we'd forget it.
Knew you'd see me with eyes wide closed.

You can't blame us for trying,
I came so close to signing
my life over to your hands.
Some things never go as planned...
and we're one of those things.
We're just one of those things,
we're just one of those things.

I could feel when my heart stopped it's beating
and I couldn't find fresh air for breathing.
I was quiet and I thought too much.

Oh but you read me like nobody's business,
and I thought I knew what I was missing,
and that was the moment that our time was up.

You can't blame us for trying,
I came so close to signing
my life over to your hands.
Some things never go as planned...
and we're one of those things.
We're just one of those things.
We're just one of those things.

Now we're cold like a New England winter,
and I've loosened from around your finger,
but I'm starting a fire here tonight.
