You'd try forever if I asked you
But you'd drown an hour at a time
You know I didn't have to
But nothing could ever have stopped me
From falling this far
Nothing but you

And I'm so afraid
I've gone too far
(That's why it is so perfect)
My hopes were always burning
The bridges of our journey
Now why would I
Do something like that?

You told me not to worry
These flowers have to wither
Something written in their leaves
Some self-destructive code
And we could both see our way to leaving
When there was no going back
That's why it was so perfect

I broke my voice
Trying to tell you not to call
And we fell so far
When the sky came down
It was like learning to crawl
You had to start a little at a time
Now why would you
Do something like that?

And I think I have to let go
With both hands
Because I'm too afraid to hold on
With just one

I think I can see my window
And something to break my fall
If you'll just tell me one more time
That's why it was so perfect.
