lyrics

Taking all the time I found
Picking my feet up off the ground
Now you see the way I’ve grown
Like the steps up to the gates

Taking me away
This cloud I float
Giving me my sanity and hope
I wish I weren’t so deep in silence
Take my silence dear

I am here I want your soul
Give it all away I’ll give ya hope
I know it’s hard to take
Like the steps up to the gates

So breathe
You know it’s me you wanted dear
Running fast I’d catch you dreaming in the past
Take my hand I’ll lead you softly
Catch you softly dear

But this is now
Hold my breath, I die
Scream and shout for a longer goodbye
Take my home
Take it all away

Here ya go now, take it
You know you’re mine now, live it
All my pieces spilt out on the floor
Give it a little while; you’ll want some more

I know
And when you’re silent give me sleep
When I’m wishing give me peace
Take away your hoping
Away my dreaming now

Cause this is now
Hold my breath, I die
Scream and shout; I want to end goodbyes
Take me home
Cause you took it all away
I took it all away

Here’s your home, you cried
I knew you’d want it
So ends this long goodbye
Take my home
Take it all away

Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
