Album: Snakes And Ladders
Keep silent if you know that someone ran away
I know that you’ve been tryin’ to conjure up better days
When I feel that everything is towering over heads
You don’t see a problem, but possibilities instead
It’s always questions they can do without
But all the things that you were worrying about
Make us ready to move on
Without you I know we could probably not move on
It’s the lengths that you will go through that are gonna make us all that strong
I know you that you’ve been tryin’ all along to find
Realize existing answers aren’t just quite right
It’s always questions we can do without
And all the things that you were worrying about
Make us ready; well, they make us ready to move on
Take me to the moon and back
And never leave me
Time is still the only track
But it won’t deceive me now
And I – I will put my life in your hands
You know that the grass is really greener on the other side
If we travel halfway round the world, then somehow we just might
Find that we aren’t so alone here after all
It’s only staying where we are that’s going to make us fall
It’s all the questions we can’t do without
These are the things that you were worrying about
Make us ready; well, they make us ready to move on
Take me to the moon and back
And never leave me
Time is still the only track
But it folds around me
And I – I will put my life in your hands
I will put my life in your hands
Give you a lever long enough, and you will move the world (Archimedes)
I’ll give you space and time and you’ll show that it’s neatly curled (Einstein)
You argue life’s only fire casting shadows in the end (Plato)
I want to leave it all behind, just put it in your hands
Your hands, oh, I want to put it in your hands
I will put the world in your hands
I will put the world in your hands
