new days

my dreams are keeping me from sleep
behind my eyes hide all that is me
all that i'd rather leave
deep inside i keep a list of things to do
a list of rights, wrongs
and the list of what i've done to you
like a child i hide from the night
under my sheets with a dead flashlight
but i know i'm okay
you tell me i'm alright

tonight i'm yours
you've got me in the arms
that held me from the start
i can rest, i can sleep
i am yours

since the day that everything began
we've wanted more than we can
we get the floor but not the dance
we wingless beings seem so eager to fly
if we learned, we'd leave ground
and lose love for the sky
maybe it's okay to be this stable
we're nowhere but we're safe
we're not okay
please make us okay

may our living be of life
and our death be just a lie
let us shine forever
let us shine
we were covered all along
you never let us go
let us shine lord
let us shine
