The Haunts of Youth

You - your lips like wine and haunting, tender eyes
 once made for better days
For me and the fleeting, restless pride
I'd tethered up and tied to keep from blowing away
But then life grew old and youth was lost forever
It felt stripped and torn away
Gone our separate ways
Forced to face the change ourselves

I, I will always feel as long as this heart of mine is beating
I, I will always heal as long as this soul of mine is breathing

You - your heart like glass
was flawed, yet so beautiful, in it's shattering
How it cut to wire my fingertips
as I helped you with finding the scatterings
I'm not prepared to mend or repair or save you at all
But when a broken thing can hold a broken thingYou, your lips like wine and haunting, tender eyes
once made for better days
for me and my fleeting, restless pride
I'd tethered up and tied to keep from blowing away
But then life grew old, and youth was lost forever
It felt stripped and torn away, left along the way
forced to face the change ourselves

I, I will always feel as long as this heart of mine is beating
I, I will always heal as long as this soul of mine is breathing

You, your heart like glass was flawed, yet so beautiful in it's shattering
How it cut to wire my fingertips
when I helped you with finding the scatterings
I'm not prepared to mend or repair or save you - at all
but when a broken thing can hold a broken thing
it makes the broken things feel whole

I, I will always feel as long as this heart of mine is beating
I, I will always heal as long as this soul of mine is breathing

You say you want to start a flame, but your heart is flooded over
and there is no way you're ever going to change enough for this

You, your lips like wine and haunting, tender eyes
once made for better days
it makes the broken things feel whole...

You say you want to start a flame
but your heart is flooded over and there is no way
you're ever going to change enough for this...
