lyrics

there are things that i remember
your hair gold against the sun
the way they stared down your bright eyes
your side a trophy to be won
were they dreams or fleeting memories
the days we spent lying in the shade
you laughed at the grass beneath your shoulders
and made your fears into a game

i said, "if you could live forever
how would you spend your years?"
you said all the fun's in getting older
and you'd like to grow up here

i'd tell the waves to pull me under
if you're drowning in the sea
and i would learn to walk through fire
if across the flames is where you'd be
a name, a face, an island a place
i'd tear up the world
to keep our numbered days

there are songs that you've sung me
about souls split into pairs
i've lied awake in the quiet dark
seeking out your heartbeat in the air
are we too old now for stories
or would you lend me your voice
tell me about a boy with green eyes
without a fate to make his choice

you said you couldn't live forever
it would be too many years
of tracing lines in my shadows
and all the places i'd leave bare

[ chorus ]

an island, a place
to keep our numbered days
