When you took my hand
You felt you could stand on my shoulders forever
And never touch the ground again
The words you command
Colour the world that we share with each other
When we are or are not together
But I should have known
What should you know?
The stones that we throw
What should we throw?
Would tumble and grow into
Impossible thoughts;
Bridges we can’t cross
The summer began
A sad, shifting current we both got caught up in
We struggled to fight as the tide came in
And you were my man
It meant so much to feel an understanding
Hand-in-hand we were taking what came to us
I had no plan
It was just nice that we found a connection
And I didn’t know it would mean this much
I’m sorry I ran
I didn’t know how to be what you needed
‘Cause I don’t even know how to be myself
The words we forgot
Making us what we’re not
