We drove through the rain
past the evergreen trees
and we rolled just like the water
along the veins of its leaves
and we traced our memories
into the shape of a map
inside the palms of our hands
bearing the secrets unkept
and i dont think i could
ever feel this way again
you should be an actress
because your so good at lying
you bring my to my feet and
then you leave me here crying
if the feelings are gone
then what am i left with
C
then what am i left with
G F C--F--C-Em-G-F
then what am i left with
its true that we're young
but love is said to be ageless
the same is said of pain
and desire and depression
would it make it easier
if i made you hate me
i only wanna see you happy
i only wanna see you smile
i'll take these pills and shove them
down my throat to keep the words
"i love you" from escaping my
lips to keep me sleeping
and keep me quiet still
"i love you" is the
only thing i know for sure
F--Am
Caleb: While Alida sings back up vocals
if it's time you need my love
if it's time you need my love
if it's time you need my love
love i'll give it to you
C--F--C-G-F x2
bass only
i'll give you my love if
you say that its time
ill tear down the walls
you've built up in our
lives as the barrier breaks
between your heart and mine
you would die to forget but
i will live to remind you
Caleb and Alida trade off vocals here
Alida:
tear down the walls
Caleb:
i will live to remind you
Alida:
tear down the walls
Caleb:
i will live to remind you
Alida:
tear down the walls
Caleb:
i will live to remind you
Alida:
tear down the walls
Caleb:
i will live
