If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
It's never easy, then it hurts
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
But we're both moving in reverse
Pre Chorus:
I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
Pre Chorus
We'd count the stars
My hands in your leaves
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
(Mute chords early on)
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
(End on )
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
