We lit the match, dropped it and waited   Just to see how beautiful,    and painful it could be   It's funny how clear,    your eyes get from crying   It's funny how clean, your life gets from dying.      You know your sleeves are long,    waiting on an answer   all we want is shelter    from the times that bring us down.   You know your sleeves are long,    waiting on an answer   just to be protected   from the doubt thats in our heart      Been at the bottom, soared to the sun   Just to see how beautiful    and painful it could be   Wings that were ours, broken from trying   Wings that were ours, melted from flying      You know your sleeves are long,   waiting on an answer   all we want is shelter    from the times that bring us down.   You know your sleeves are long,   waiting on an answer   just to be protected    from the doubt thats in our heart      You know your sleeves are long,    waiting on an answer   all we want is shelter   from the times that bring us down.   You know your sleeves are long,   waiting on an answer   just to be protected    from the doubt thats in our heart
