lyrics

You and I
we were just passing through
from now on the road I wander
bears the tracks left by your boot

Let the whip fly
with pain comes the truth
it's what sets you on the path
beyond the shadow of your ten story past

Oh my love
I built you a skyscraper
because I wanted to set you way up high
but now, the earth and stars collide
and I've broken from the bonds of time

I felt so old
I was stone in my youth
only the youngest of minds
can be poisoned after swallowing the truth

so let it die
let it break and fall in two
to be dead don't mean it's through
death's a stairway from the basement to the roof

oh my love
I built you a skyscraper
because I wanted to set you way up high
but now, the earth and stars collide
and I've broken from the bonds of time
i have broken from the bonds of time
