Cerca Trova - Halcyon Days

Don’t wait up for me she said

I’m just out for some air

Held it together for a month

Destroyed in a year

I’m going out for a walk in the cold

I’m so used to the warmth

It’s all I’ve ever known

Everyone’s so young

And I’m so old

Maybe not in my skin

But I feel it in my bones

Everyone’s so full of it

And I can barely breathe

My battle is with myself

My cuts won’t bleed

I thought I’d left my secrets

I thought I’d left my secrets back at the distant shores

But the waves brought them back to our new coast

And all these places look like home

But a different one from what I’ve known

And you can’t jump all these fences

My lungs are cold

From breathing in this winter for way to long

So here I am defenseless

Reality strike at the best part of the dream

Just breathe and release

Everyone’s so old

And I’m so young

Feel it from my fingertips

Down to shaky knees

Everyone’s so empty inside

And I’m ready to burst

My battle is with all of you

My cuts are rivers and streams

I thought I’d left my secrets back at the distant shores

But the waves brought them back to our new coast

And all these places look like home

But a different one from what I’ve known

And you can’t jump all these fences

My lungs are cold

From breathing in this winter for way to long

So here I am defenseless

Reality strike at the best part of the dream

Just breathe and release
