shipwrecked in the night,
I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
I dive into these pools of blue,
I curse these cool whispering lights,
My patience makes the climb
Will my tears buy me time?
Forgot what I've been told
I'll walk the last mile with
I heard you say dissolve in my arms
and run to fall in these meadows
But I cling to my dreams,
I'm drawn to things that kill me
It's safer to pretend that
I'll deceive myself again
forgot what I'd been told
I'll walk the last mile with
I've seen the whole world turn to gold
And it's just like a fairground ride
that the tyrants of the world
Someone loves you in this world
I want you to burn like copper
I want you to burn like copper
I wake up to the harsh light
Spilled my heart in a cold night
I've got too much time to kill
I wrote your name up on my wall
Forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so full
I'll walk the last mile with you
I'll walk the last mile with you
Walk the last mile with you
Oh, won't you go and smile with me
forgot what I've been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
I'll walk the last mile with you
