my walls

I'm done
I've done all my time
I picked your pieces
Built you up so high
But now I'm building bridges
Crossing over tides
I'm building my hopes up
And closing my eyes

And I'll build a door so we don't coincide

'Cuz it's cold
It's cold inside
My walls are all bare now
I want it all white
Leave pastels behind,
I'll paint it all over
And I'll watch it dry
I'll take down the posters
About all our nights

And I'll paint my ceiling so we don't share a sky
And I don't know why

You're old
You're grown and you're tired
Tried putting your seeds down
but the roots are all wired
What's the point in flowers?
When we can paint petals
Whatever we'd like
We press them in picture frames until you love them dry

Let me go, don't let me by
Don't let me open up my eyes
Let me go, don't let me die
I loved you 'til I loved you, I
Let me go, don't let me by
Don't let me open up my eyes
Let me go, don't let me die
I loved you 'til I loved you dry
