together, together.

You fought them off so gallantly and won.
So back again upon our shore. We really wanted nothing more,
Than to hold each other 'til our arms grew tired.

Then slowly like a timid flower
The sun rose up at just the hour
When we had slowly slipped out of my dream.

Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I'm feeling an echo inside my chest,
I've a heart beating patiently along,
Waiting for the other half of it's song
And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying inconsistencies,
As you fall uneasily to your knees,
your knees

Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough
