[Verse 1]
Crawling, twisted, jaded by the light
The sun touched our skin so we shut it out
Empty bottles on the window sill
Images of us that try to hold us down
[Pre-Chorus]
The harder that they want us both to fall
I know that there's a softer place to land
Where our skin won't bruise
We can leave them with the ghost of me and you
[Chorus]
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
[Verse 2]
Bricks and water, we are building walls
Like steeples, towers, bolting down the doors
Safe as houses when the world is cruel
Can't get in the way they did before
[Pre-Chorus]
The harder that they want us both to fall
I know that there's a softer place to land
Where our skin won't bruise
We can leave them with the ghost of me and you
[Chorus]
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
[Chorus]
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
