[Verse 1]
That time my body couldn't stop shaking
It was hard to keep you entertained
While my breath was slowly speeding
I pinched my arm to stay afloat
This time I sit waiting on the stairs
Watching the balloons go outside
And though I think of you dearly
I hardly even know you

[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my heart is beating loudly
Like castles in the sand the tide is coming in

[Verse 2]
That time the silence was deafening
But I'm not sure if it was even silent
Now I cling and hold on to the moon
It's the only constant that doesn't move

[Chorus]
So speak to me again, my lungs are breathing faster
Like paper left in the rain, I'm slowly fading
So speak to me again, jesus christ, I'm whiny
I'm sorry that I am

[Verse 3]
That time I knocked and I knocked
But nobody would open the door
So I sat crying on the doorstep
The cold was piercing my skin
I wish I could be stuck in my childhood
The absurd naivety of it all
But now on the verge of growing up
It'll only take seconds to fall

[Break]
I thought we just begun
I thought we just begun
Wait until my head
[Chorus]
Your roots go far and deep
They strangle frantic breathing
Needed to stay afloat
Soon I'll forget you
And you will me too
All children will decompose too
