Out of a dream
And into the black
Fumbling for the words
To blunt the attack
I'm just a note
At the foot of your bed
The summer left me burned
The fall left me dead
I've crawled through the years
More secure in my fears
So I'll send you the letter
From my crystal cocoon
Tied to the string of a heart-shaped balloon
And if my words should escape me
Let them float to the moon
And I send all of my love
My love to you
The sun had arisen behind a mountain of smoke
Your eyes were in flames
And your hands were cold
And like a stream
Down every freeway you flow
Searching for the stars
In the headlights glow
And you crawl through the years
More secure in your fears
So I'll send you the letter
From my crystal cocoon
Tied to the string of a heart-shaped balloon
And if my words should escape me
Let them float to the moon
And I send all of my love
My love to you
I lost you back
Before we had known
That this road we walk
Could never lead home
And if the wind should carry the songs of our youth
The planks in our eyes will remind us the truth
And so I retreat into the eye of the storm
Still trying to feel like the day I was born
But my eyes are dry
I swear to you
This is not goodbye
And there's nothing to prove
And we'll crawl through the years
More secure in our fears
So I'll send you the letter
From my crystal cocoon
Tied to the string of a heart-shaped balloon
And if my words should escape me
Let them float to the moon
And I send all of my love
My love to you
