lyrics

Didn't know what I had
Didn't know where it was going
But it doesn't make me sad
Was just the way the wind was blowing

So I close my heart
And I close the door once more
And wage another war

All the dreams came too soon
And they all came without knowing
But I couldn't let them bloom
I couldn't give them time for growing

Didn't let them in
Didn't let them begin to win
Couldn't let them win

And so I'm here and I'm waiting for the end
All alive
Flick away another friend
Just hold me back from holding back the world
Hold back the world

So I let it die but I leave a little trail to days gone by
And send the good ship out to sail

And I'll raise a glass when there's nothing left of myself
And drink to your health

Speak like a lion and I sing like a bird
Fade like a summer and then don't say another word

And so I'm here and I'm waiting for the end
All alive
Flick away another friend
Gathering up nothing and giving it all away
Head full of thunder but it's wonder I say

It holds me back from coming back to the world
Hold back the world
