lyrics

Silhouettes dance on the shore
Between the waves and the lake’s dull roar
At the dawn of the day
I want to wash these fears away
But it feels as though we’re in a war

I’ve never been afraid like I am right now
We’ve skipped the why and managed to forget the how
Now everything’s unstable
Though I’ll fight while I am able
We’ve been riding on the rails till the rails run out

Say
I’ll be there if you want me to
Say
Say the word and I’ll come running
Say
Do you remember all those things we used to say?

Two thousand miles and just one click between
We’ve slowly redefined what the word “distance” means
I’m at the top of the stairs
I’m looking down, I’m looking scared
If I fire a flare will you see me?

What in the world are we waiting for?
Why do I feel we’ve been here before?
Who will have the courage to say…

Say
I’ll be there if you want me to
Say
Say the word and I’ll come running
Say
I remember all those things we used to say

Say
We don’t have to play these games anymore
We’re in a world at war, what are we waiting for?
I’ve got something to say... I just wanted to say...
