While you were gone I washed all the windows So I could get a better view of your return While you were gone I changed all the bed sheets So I could lie without the anger as I turn I reset the clock so I could forgive you for being late But the moment I stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith To build a house on quicksand That's what you're asking me to do To give you the heart you've broken How can that feel alright to you? In the end I let the windows get dirty I couldn't stand to see your absence through a glass And in the end I learned to sleep with the light up So tired from giving space to shadows of the past I used to reset the clock so I could forgive you for being late But the moment I stop is the moment you tell me to have some faith To build a house on quicksand That's what you're asking me to do To give you the heart you've broken How can that feel alright to you? Do I wait for you? Does that comfort me? Do I see you through? Or do I walk on by? Can I flee this wind and forget your name? Do I crawl right back when I know that there's no safety in your arms? To build a house on quicksand That's what you're asking me to do To give you the heart you've broken How can that feel alright to you? How can that feel alright? How can that feel alright? How can that feel alright to you? How can that feel alright?
