Somehow, somewhere, I must have said somethingyou didn't want to hear
All those words came from the heart
I wasn't trying to upset your apple cart
Love can fracture like a young bird's wing
We try so hard not to wreck anything
Turn our backs and walk away
Why I can't find the words I want to say
what I want to say
Is there enough water in the seven seas
To wash away the stain on these memories
Is there enough heat, is there enough light
To help me find the courage to get through the night
The simplest thing can be the hardest thing to do
I want to make everything about me work for you.
Breathe out, breathe in
Maybe it's time we did some listening
We burned so bright and we meant so well
Two lives bound by such a tale to tell
Love can fracture but the heart can heal
We wear those scars we're not afraid to feel
Walls of silence bury sound
Together and back to back, we take them down
We're gonna take them down
Time lost, time found, you find the stillest water running underground
Every chance we ever took
Gave us both a shot at a second look
Maybe we stand and maybe we fall
We spent some time with our backs against the wall
Hand in hand, together we go
I've got to ask you baby, I need to know
I really need to know
Is there enough water in the seven seas
Talk to me babe, you need to tell me please
Is there enough light, is there enough heat
To keep us both warm and keep us on our feet
Sometimes the simplest thing can be the hardest thing to do
I want to make everything about me work for you.
