Till Morning

[00:19.89] The impact of it's still ringing
[00:22.16] We dance in a crater it left
[00:24.03] All day long I can hear you singing
[00:26.23] But I wake in the night
[00:27.34] I hear you catching your breath
[00:28.67] Six months now
[00:29.75] You barely slept
[00:30.59] I wonder how many others
[00:31.68] Are stuck on the same map
[00:32.84] Survivors built in the hidden depths
[00:34.66] Survivor's guilt like an empty trap
[00:36.70] Every day of your life is a victory lap
[00:38.57] I'm proud to be running it with you
[00:40.98] When you get lost in flashbacks
[00:42.71] I miss you
[00:43.37] I'm picking up the slack
[00:44.20] But my hands are slipping
[00:45.65] It was the worst betrayal
[00:47.34] Resurfacing now
[00:48.55] That your life is stable
[00:49.77] I know you're a soldier
[00:51.47] But where do you go
[00:52.74] When your eyes glaze over
[00:53.97] I wish I could travel
[00:54.97] Through time
[00:55.68] Find that child
[00:56.73] Guard her door
[00:58.03] I would sit on the floor
[00:59.28] Outside her room
[01:00.36] Till morning
[01:02.42] I wish I could travel
[01:03.57] Through time
[01:04.23] Find that child
[01:05.36] Guard that door
[01:06.80] I would sit on the floor
[01:08.08] Outside that room
[01:08.93] Till morning
[01:11.06] It's not the whole story
[01:12.16] It's not even the beginning
[01:13.21] It's just one thread
[01:14.39] In the tapestry
[01:15.43] If you pull at it long enough
[01:16.43] The bigger picture unravels
[01:17.78] And everything feels like catastrophe
[01:19.62] Still we laugh all the time
[01:20.73] It's good for the pain
[01:21.74] We put our hearts into climbing this mountain together
[01:24.03] Now we're high enough to start enjoying the view
[01:25.99] But the shadows down below are getting closer every second
[01:28.79] Good thing you're as tough as they make 'em
[01:30.49] You got it from the people you came from
[01:32.06] Remember
[01:32.76] When you feel like you can't keep hold
[01:34.53] You're an old soul
[01:35.44] Gold
[01:35.94] And you will not fold
[01:37.42] Some nights
[01:38.17] You wait forever
[01:39.18] Sure
[01:39.90] You can't take the pressure
[01:41.04] But when the dark feels like it will never lift
[01:42.90] That's when the sky grows pale
[01:44.17] And the morning lives
[01:45.46] I wish I could travel
[01:46.47] Through time
[01:47.37] Find that child
[01:48.23] Guard that door
[01:49.30] I would sit on the floor
[01:50.73] Outside that room
[01:51.80] Till morning
[01:53.72] I wish I could travel
[01:54.93] Through time
[01:55.74] Find that child
[01:56.84] Guard that door
[01:58.01] I would sit on the floor
[01:59.36] Outside your room
[02:00.48] Till morning
[02:02.66] One in four
[02:03.79] Is it a surprise
[02:04.87] How many of the people in your life
[02:06.25] Have this bit of little bit of grit
[02:07.58] Stinging in their eyes
[02:08.74] And they do grow up
[02:09.82] And they thrive
[02:11.02] It ain't the boogeyman
[02:12.19] Or a stranger in the park
[02:13.27] It's a friend of the family
[02:14.24] It's a relative you stand with
[02:15.86] If that's too hard to think of
[02:17.05] Too dark
[02:17.74] What about the people who are living every day with it?
[02:19.70] When the past is a dirty swamp
[02:21.66] Full of shapes
[02:22.11] You can't look at square on
[02:23.47] Keep going
[02:24.14] I know what's in your mind
[02:25.08] When you lose your words
[02:26.01] You start shrinking
[02:26.94] Through space
[02:27.42] Like you don't deserve
[02:28.31] To exist
[02:28.96] Wounds too wild to tame
[02:30.56] For what it's worth
[02:31.65] I understand shame
[02:32.82] You kiss mine to dust
[02:34.47] I just hope I can do the same
[02:36.63] We can
[02:37.29] We can travel through time
[02:38.44] We can find that child
[02:39.52] We can guard her door
[02:40.97] We can sit on the floor
[02:42.39] Outside that room
[02:43.40] Till morning
[02:45.21] We can
[02:46.02] We can travel through time
[02:47.12] We can find that child
[02:48.30] We can guard her door
[02:49.79] We can sit on the floor
[02:51.06] Outside her room
[02:52.06] Together
[02:53.94] Till morning
[02:57.51]
