Lyrics: The way that you call, the way that you call out quietly What did you learn? What did you learn from loving me? To move in the world, to move in the world more graciously Your promised return, your promised return ain’t much to me But letting you down, letting you down was hell to me The colours of love, the colour of us was gold and green The peace and the birds, the peace and the birds don’t visit me I was winning once, but that’s been and gone I was playing with the fire that you made for me What we running from? I couldn’t hold you for the last time and then let you go Standing at the turnstile you looked so alone Oh to be someone you rely on, A hill that we can die on, wait up with the light on Don’t wanna know this life without you, I’m not strong enough You turn and close your eyes cause you can’t even look Losing someone to rely on, A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on Let me believe, let me believe we’ll last the night What do we need? Cause there ain’t much left to sacrifice But I gotta breathe, I better breathe to save my mind I was winning once, but that’s been and gone I was playing with the fire that you made for me What we running from? I couldn’t hold you for the last time and then let you go Standing at the turnstile you looked so alone Oh to be someone you rely on, A hill that we can die on, wait up with the light on Don’t wanna know this life without you, I’m not strong enough You turn and close your eyes cause you can’t even look Losing someone to rely on, A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on I’ll admit it once Then I’ll hold my tongue I was clutching at the dream that you’d stay with me And the truth beloved is you’ll always run Back and forth in my mind every day you breathe I was winning once, but that’s been and gone I was playing with the fire that you made from me What we running from? I couldn’t hold you for the last time and then let you go Standing at the turnstile you looked so alone Oh to be someone you rely on, A hill that we can die on, wait up with the light on Don’t wanna know this life without you, I’m not strong enough You turn and close your eyes cause you can’t even look Losing someone to rely on, A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on Someone to rely on, A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on Wait up with the light on
