lyrics

We twist and turn
We ebb and flow
We change our shape
More than we know
We fix our gaze
And rest assured
That what has passed
Will come once more

Like when I was a riot of color and light
I was the song on your lips in the night
When dreams were deferred, your mind wouldn’t rest
The weight of the world sat hard on your chest
When you were the view at the top of the climb
You were the breath and the pausing of time
You were the peace I had wondered if I
Could ever deserve or ever would find
When I was a riot and you were the peace

I see your heart
Your shadow, too
I trust your word
I trust in you
And slow but sure
And with your help
Maybe I’ve come
To trust myself

Like when I was a riot of color and light
I was the song on your lips in the night
When your dreams were deferred and your mind wouldn’t rest
And the weight of the world sat hard on your chest
When you were the view at the top of the climb
You were the breath and the pausing of time
You were the peace I had wondered if I
Could ever deserve or ever would find
When I was a riot and you were the peace
I was a riot and you were the peace
I was a riot and you were

I was a riot and you were the peace
I was a riot and you were the peace
I was a riot and you were the peace
I was a riot and you were the peace
