lyrics

I fear that my future won’t hold what I hope
I hate that I fear what I haven’t yet spoke
I’m climbing a ladder made only of rope
I can’t stand the height but I’m starting to cope

I’m trying to hold back the tide of your eyes
Like kinds and creation I’m doomed but I try
I’ll show you a scene of your heart when it flies
And hope that the mem’ry will bring you to life

And there’s nothing below me
The only way down is to fall so I climb
I don’t know where I’m going
But I know that theres something I still have to find

I’m trying to keep from coming undone
Apologize when I’ve done nothing wrong
But I know that this feeling won’t last for too long
The heat of your breath is the beat of this song

What will you do when my breath has gone cold
The rope starts to fray and the ladder won’t hold
When the stakes are too high, to stay or to fold?
Have faith that I’ll find you above or below

Maybe it's you

I will find you
I will find you my love
