Yours to Take

Lady Light, don't drift away into the wave
It's tough enough to lie awake
But it's worth the paths you pave

If I knew somebody else was drowning
I'd know who to save
I'd throw a thousand lines out
But they'd still think that it's brave

If you told me that our lives were done
I'd tell you it ain't fun
But it's alright, it's okay
You'd just leave me every day, love

Half a year ago could take me
But I don't care
Life ain't fair

A hundred years or so could change me
The heart you break
Is yours to take

Mister Sunlight, wontcha tell why I'm wrong?
I asked you if you would help me out
But you said "just move along"

If one man has message and the other has a bottle
Does one write "please, just get me out"
And the other something thoughtful?

You know that I can't be lost another minute
So why don't you go out into the breeze
In the morning you say you're always kinda hidden
I think you're just something we should see

Ohh, you'll see
Ohh, ohh

I'm not sure what happens when we all do die
But you can rest assured that I will take it line by line
How long do I keep feeding off these little scraps of time?
For it happens to us all, so there's no point to a lie, oh

Mrs. Starlight, you have told me where to go
I ended up atop a mountain traced with falling snow
I long for better days yet, these ones seem so beautiful
I guess I'll just embrace the sight I have of you in full

When you told me it's just the start
I believed you with my heart
But it's alright, it's okay
You'd just leave me every day, oh

Half a year ago could take me
But I don't care
Life ain't fair

A hundred years or so could change me
The heart you break
Is yours to take
