[Verse 1]
She is the deepest ocean
That I could hope to drown in
If my iron wings should break again
I hope I'd fly into your eyes
[Chorus]
Gold and grey
Your eyes were gold and grey
And I would do anything
To feel like I’m on fire again
[Post-Chorus]
I wouldn't hold my breath and stop the tide from rising
I'd open up my lungs
Let me hold your softened soul in place
Like a wave that never breaks
[Verse 2]
I would tear my heart out
I’d walk a thousand crooked miles
Then I'd start a fire
Turn the world to flame
To watch it shining in your eyes
[Chorus]
Cold and grey
Your eyes were cold and grey
I would do anything
To feel like I'm on fire again
[Post-Chorus]
I won't close my eyes to keep the sun from rising
I'll hold them open wide
Let me hold your broken halo inside
Like a sun that never shines
[Bridge]
I hope your eyes are black on fire
[Outro]
Let me hold your softened soul in place
Where the wave will never break
Let me hold your broken halo
Where the sunlight never shines
