YOU & I

I had to write it down
They tell me it's cathartic
A forest will fall before the day
My troubled thoughts are clear

We're broken-hearted
Our hopes departed
Dreams we discarded at seventeen

The loss we harbour
It's growing darker
Inside of this broken dream

Erasing
Replacing
Erasing
Replacing

You and I
Like birds in the sky
In love I feel this heart in the fire

Erasing
We could have it all
Replacing
We could have it all

Ripples in the stream
Waiting for the calmer tide
To wash away
All that I have feared

We're broken-hearted
Our hopes departed
Are we the lovers without our peace?

The loss we harbour
It's growing darker
Until we find sweet release

Erasing
Replacing
Erasing
Replacing

We could have it all

You and I
Like birds in the sky
In love I feel this heart in the fire

Erasing
We could have it all
Replacing
We could have it all

You and I
Like birds in the sky
In love I feel this heart in the fire

Erasing
We could have it all
Replacing
We could have it all

You and I
We could have had it all
But we wouldn't back down
Wouldn't back down

You and I
We could have had it all
But we wouldn't back down
Wouldn't back down

Erasing
Replacing
Erasing
Replacing

We could have it all

You and I
Like birds in the sky
In love I feel this heart in the fire

Erasing
We could have it all
Replacing
We could have it all

You and I
Like birds in the sky
In love I feel this heart in the fire

Erasing
We could have it all
Replacing
We could have it all
