Trampoline

I feel the cool mid-autumn breeze
I hear the wind blow through the trees
I sit alone here on this bench remembering everything
I feel the sand beneath my feet
I hear the roaring of the sea
I sit alone here on the sand remembering everything

But time has passed and there's nothing left for me
But a faded picture and a broken memory
Will I find the one to finally make me believe
Love isn't something we want, it's something that we need

I need more than just a broken promise
More than just a shattered dream
I need more than passion when we kiss
I've been up and down on this trampoline
I need more than words that don't mean a thing
More to prove this isn't just routine
It's impossible to fly with broken wings
But I've been up and down on this trampoline

I hear the words you never say
As I awake they fade away
I lie alone in bed wondering what comes next
I hear the songs you used to sing
My head is heavy with the memory it brings
I lie alone in bed wondering was it all about the sex

But time has passed and these scars now fade
But still inside I feel this inner pain
Who will be next to make me believe
Love isn't something we want, it's something we need

I need more than just a broken promise
More than just a shattered dream
I need more than passion when we kiss
I've been up and down on this trampoline
I need more than words that don't mean a thing
More to prove this isn't just routine
It's impossible to fly with broken wings
But I've been up and down on this trampoline

It's getting harder and harder just to get by
I feel grounded while I watch them fly
I feel like in a sense I've lost my innocence
I burn incense and wonder where the time went

It's getting harder and harder to bounce back up from the fall
Will I land on my feet this time or will I lose it all
I feel that in a way I've lost my way
I waste away another day and wonder if I'll ever be saved

I need more than just a broken promise
More than just a shattered dream
I need more than passion when we kiss
I've been up and down on this trampoline
I need more than words that don't mean a thing
More to prove this isn't just routine
It's impossible to fly with broken wings
But I've been up and down on this trampoline
