Limit

about

Written after a day of walking around Osaka with a couple of indie musicians I had met online. It was one of the happiest days of my young life, and as the song I wrote that night shows, I really wasn't ready for it to be over.

lyrics

Silence...just hold onto this silence
Tomorrow I'll be worlds away
And all that's left will be the words we said yesterday
It's sunny here, and I can't breathe
I hope you're sleeping and your friends aren't sick
Thank you for proving that my dreams do exist somewhere

We spend our spangled lives planning our demise
We never have the time to make things work out right
And I was born too late to understand my light
I'm sure the others cried, but they never laughed like you

And all the pictures fade, I'll burn them all away
If I'm not there at all, they've been taken anyway
And up above the rain, the umbrellas and the pain
I set my limits low, but you made me think again

Silence...don't leave me with this silence
I want my ears to ring forevermore
Recalling what you said as I walked through the door
It's bright outside, how can I leave
When there's this picture hanging over me
And in your distance, I hear church bells ring

I met you in the sky, by accident, I cried
I never have the time to make things work out right
My limits are all passed, there's only forever left
But I was born to late, and that will be my death
