[Verse 1]
That time my body couldn't stop shaking
It was hard to keep you entertained
While my breath was slowly speeding
I pinched my arm to stay afloat
This time I sit waiting on the stairs
Watching the balloons go outside
And though I think of you dearly
I hardly even know you
[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my heart is beating loudly
Like castles in the sand the tide is coming in
[Verse 2]
That time the silence was deafening
But I'm not sure if it was even silent
Now I cling and hold on to the moon
It's the only constant that doesn't move
[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my lungs are breathing faster
Like paper left in the rain, I'm slowly fading
So speak to me again, jesus christ, I'm whiny
I'm sorry that I am
[Verse 3]
That time I knocked and I knocked
But nobody would open the door
So I sat crying on the doorstep
The cold was piercing my skin
I wish I could be stuck in my childhood
The absurd naivety of it all
But now on the verge of growing up
It'll only take seconds to fall
[Break]
I thought we just begun
I thought we just begun
Wait until my head
[Chorus]
Your roots go far and deep
They strangle frantic breathing
Needed to stay afloat
Soon I'll forget you
And you will me too
All children will decompose too
That time my body couldn't stop shaking
It was hard to keep you entertained
While my breath was slowly speeding
I pinched my arm to stay afloat
This time I sit waiting on the stairs
Watching the balloons go outside
And though I think of you dearly
I hardly even know you
[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my heart is beating loudly
Like castles in the sand the tide is coming in
[Verse 2]
That time the silence was deafening
But I'm not sure if it was even silent
Now I cling and hold on to the moon
It's the only constant that doesn't move
[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my lungs are breathing faster
Like paper left in the rain, I'm slowly fading
So speak to me again, jesus christ, I'm whiny
I'm sorry that I am
[Verse 3]
That time I knocked and I knocked
But nobody would open the door
So I sat crying on the doorstep
The cold was piercing my skin
I wish I could be stuck in my childhood
The absurd naivety of it all
But now on the verge of growing up
It'll only take seconds to fall
[Break]
I thought we just begun
I thought we just begun
Wait until my head
[Chorus]
Your roots go far and deep
They strangle frantic breathing
Needed to stay afloat
Soon I'll forget you
And you will me too
All children will decompose too
