Who We Are Lyrics

[00:07.62] You only feel it when it's lost
[00:14.14] Gettin' through still has a cost
[00:20.16] Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
[00:26.27] Falling from you, drop by drop
[00:31.99] What I had left here
[00:34.98] I just held it tight
[00:39.13] So someone with your eyes
[00:43.82] Might come in time
[00:47.38] To hold me like water
[00:50.98] Or Christ, hold me like a knife
[00:55.30] We're born at night
[00:59.20] So much of our life
[01:02.96] Is just carvin' through the dark
[01:08.03] To get so far
[01:11.57] And the hardest part
[01:14.52] Is who we are
[01:17.26] It's who we are
[01:20.86] You and I burned out our steam
[01:26.98] Chasing someone else's dream
[01:33.07] How can somethin' be so much heavier
[01:38.66] But so much less than what it seems?
[01:44.77] Darling, we sacrificed
[01:49.06] We gave our time to somethin' undefined
[01:56.62] This phantom life sharpens like an image
[02:03.91] But it sharpens like a knife
[02:08.75] We're born at night
[02:12.15] So much of our life
[02:16.18] Is just carvin' through the dark
[02:20.76] To get so far
[02:24.39] And the hardest part
[02:27.32] Is who we are
[02:29.98] It's who we are
[02:33.01]
[03:34.33] You only feel it when it's lost
[03:40.68] Gettin' through still has its cost
[03:46.75] Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love
[03:52.53] Fallin' from you, drop by drop
[03:55.28]
