Lyrics

The time we lose
Lives we live
I change my skin
The skin we’re in

One life for another
Two for joy again
Three lost to the soil
You’re my true friend

And you can’t see me
And I don’t speak for you
The breath we draw together
Air we fall through
I’ve been lost without you

A strange sense of waiting
Tried to live today
But I’m pulled and dizzy
Spin and sway away

Lost in my ambition
All the stones I throw
Only skim the water
To sink below
I’ve been lost without you

These are the hours, the days
We set the scene, the stage
These are the hours, the players
We cast away

Old doors close before me
Corridors join the dance
Everybody deserves a
Second chance

One life for another
One tale for two
Long roots find water
I will find you
I’ve been lost without you
