Lyrics:
There in a town made of paper and rubber stone
Smiles mask confusion and angst that seethes below
Men they watch airplanes from buildings that don’t feel like home
And time it has frozen a warmth of a life now gone
Saying ‘if we could, then I wish we would
Bring back the glow to this hardening heart before it turns to wood’
Some call it luck but then some men they call it fate
She blames the rain on a love she just could not save
For months she took ill as heart slowly withered away
Right before it was gone she found hope in one last place
Praying ‘If you could, then I wish you would
Bring back the glow to this hardening heart before it turns to wood’
‘Yeah if we could, then I think we should
Bring back the glow to this hardening heart before it turns to wood’
And all our dreams yea they will crash into the ground
And even the loudest scream won’t seem to make a sound
Perhaps a light it has always been there all along
It’s hidden in the cracks of a wood in a dark that goes on and on
I don’t know why the clock ticks so much faster as the days they go
Or why we put poison on things we wish would grow
But when the hurts at its meanest and ghosts gather all around
There’s a flame that we just might can save if we don’t give out
And if we could, then I wish we would
Bring back the glow to this hardening heart before it turns to wood
Saying if we could, then I think we should
Bring back the glow to this hardening heart before it turns to wood (x2)
