I am shipwrecked in the night  I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice  Say "Dive into these pools of blue"  But I tripped over you  I curse these cool whispering lights  I curse the things that keep me from you  Again my patience makes the climb  Will my tears buy me time?  In your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told  I never thought that I could feel so old  You're at the center of everything I do  Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you  I heard you say "Dissolve in my arms  And run to fall in these meadows"  But you're just a memory  From a mocking old dream  But I cling to my dreams  I'm drawn to things that kill me  It's safer to pretend  But I'll deceive myself again  I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told  I never thought that I could feel so old  You're at the center of everything I do  Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you  I've seen the whole world turn to gold  It's just like a fairground ride  Sometimes it turns out  That the tyrants are the pearls  You'll always know, someone loves you in this world  I want to burn like I burn  I want to burn like I burn  I wake up in the harsh light  Spilled my heart in a cold night  I've got too much time to kill  I wrote you're name upon my wall  I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told  I never thought that I could feel so old  You're at the center of everything I do  Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you
