Lyrics

I wanted to save you

I had the desire to rescue you

Give breath that escaped you

Provide the breath that you lost

But you stayed down (stayed down)

But you chose to remain down (unresponsive)

To resuscitate you

To revive you

Breath my breath back into you

Breathe my life back into you

You stayed out (stayed out)

You stayed unconscious


I wanted to shake you

I wished to shake you

To scream to awaken you

To scream and wake you up

You stayed down (stayed out)

But you remained down (unresponsive)


In your slumber you saw everything

In your sleep, you experienced everything

Everything but me

Everything except acknowledging me


Why must we stop?

Questioning why we must halt

Why must we stop now?

Asking why we must stop now

Why must you crush our glow?

Questioning why you must extinguish our radiance

Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Expressing that heaven moves slowly

Don't remake our heaven

Advising not to recreate our heavenly state


I wanted to save us

Expressing the desire to save 'us'

Wept words that escaped us

Shedding tears over words that slipped away from us

But you stayed out (You shut them out)

But you remained distant (shutting emotions out)

I fell down to face you

I descended to confront you

To find you were wakeful

Only to find you were awake

And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now

You rejected me, and now I feel insignificant


In your slumber you saved everything

In your sleep, you preserved everything

Everything but me

Everything except me


Why must we stop?

Questioning why we must halt

Why must we stop now?

Asking why we must stop now

Why must you crush our glow?

Questioning why you must extinguish our radiance

Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Expressing that heaven moves slowly

Don't remake our heaven

Advising not to recreate our heavenly state


Why must we stop?

Questioning why we must halt

Why must we stop?

Why must we stop?

Why must we stop now?

Asking why we must stop now

Why must we stop?

Questioning why we must halt

Why must you crush our glow?

Questioning why you must extinguish our radiance


Don't you know that heaven is slow?

Advising not to erase our heavenly state

Don't erase our heaven
