They say you live in hospitals and trenches And towers in the sky And I'm not dying or fighting any wars Except on the inside
The only thing I need is a void that you can fill And I jump ship and run even farther in your will
And I am looking for the well that won't run dry The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny When you wrap your arms around me I can walk away Or face the emptiest day
The words I find impossible to mention Are written on a star They say that I can find you in a flower But I need you in the car
The optimism of my youth is dead and gone But I save these speculations for another time and song
Life, is only perceived through chemicals and emotion But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
