until you're ready

"No more open graves," you say
Which is funny from where you stand
Waiting for me at the graveyard gate
With flowers in your hand

There's a silence in the sorrow that haunts you
You say it's been there all your life
And I'm wondering what it would take
For you to be free from it for a while

But whether or not that day comes
And if none of your grief disappears
You'll still be the only thing I ever needed you to be

I know that I came from an undying spirit
But you remind me I'm human now
And I hungered for redemption
So I started breaking bread
With the demons I can't live down

And maybe in a couple years
You'd have made your way to England
And I'll be in the mountains in the north
We've got the rest of our lives to learn to be happy
So what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

While I don't hold your absence against you
I'm glad that you came back to me
And I know that you have to go back to the darkness
And I miss you whenever you leave

And I can't seem to run from the way I adore you

You say you find reasons to love people
In their weaknesses in their flaws
And I've seen all the things that you are
And I can say I'm in love with it all

Somehow, you can't take the love you've been giving
Now isn't that ironic?
So I will love your flaws in silence
'Til you're ready to hear the music

And I can't seem to run from the way I adore you
And I can't seem to run from the way I adore you
I can't seem to run from the way I adore you
Oh I can't seem to run from the way I adore you
