Cradle

I can't stay
You turned me gray
She wakes early
He wakes earlier
So come on, my brother

Left on their own
Her courage is felt sip for sip
Through unexpected nerves
They beg their feet to move
Who's leading?

Amber glasses hide their eyes
No inhibition
Could disguise
An innocent glance in kind

These thoughts
I can't help but suppress
It still stings
As careful phrases fail
Goodbye, Madeline, goodbye
Goodbye, Madeline, goodbye

Six months at a rapid pace
Do you feel
Rushing will erase?
So come on, my brother

All he asked for
All she meant to feel
All they hope for now

She landed a giver
(Hope for now)
Hope that
She wouldn't take advantage
(He would never know)

Then along came a beating heart
A whole new life to grow
Oh, we can't wait to meet him
Welcome to Earth

(Welcome to Earth)

A cradle rocks
In a house
Consumed by love

When the Sun
Doesn't shine
He'll look up to you

Show him how to lift the curse
Resolve the weight you left
Without a lie
(Weighing me down)
You are
We Are
The modern ones
And I was so wrong

These thoughts
You can't help but suppress
It still stings
These careful phrases fail
Goodbye, Medeline, goodbye
It's only begun
Let's start again
When two hearts can find
A reason to stay
So come on, my brother

(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)

(She wakes early)
(Goodbye)
(He wakes earlier)
(Earlier)

Are you where you thought you'd be?
I hope she's worthy
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)

We are
We are
The modern ones
So, come on

(Come on)
(Come on)

These thoughts
You can't help but suppress
It still stings
As careful phrases fail
Goodbye, Madeline, goodbye
Goodbye, Madeline, goodbye

Six months at a rapid pace
Do you feel
Rushing will erase?
So come on, my brother
