i called to You before the break of dawn
i wrestled with my name, asked You to change my song
the waiting, it’s the pounding that you feel
it’s the breathing bursting through the weakness in the steel
i caught the meaning of the burning leaves
it was me, it was for me
i finally gave in to that lifting sea
it was me, it was for me
(chorus)
how do you know the price you’ll pay
until you fall in
until you fall in
how do you mean the words you say
until you fall in
until you fall in
love
a wooden pile stacked beneath the stars
a wild dance ensues in the carving of a heart
i watched the light travel ‘cross the sky
will You see me from the corner of Your eye?
