Only Children Lyrics

I put a message in a bottle

And threw it at outer space

It landed in a crowded place

About an hour late

I hope you read it, I wrote it to show you how to chase

The clouds away and bring an April shower to your flower vase

Cause nowadays it's only sour grapes in chardonnay

Life is the back yard and love is the garden maze

It's hard to say that if time hadn't come between us

That we could have been something different

That you could have become my Venus

We were only children the day that I made that incision

And left that heart shaped grenade inside with a pin missing

You wanted a wishing well that wasn't afraid of counterfeit

And I thought that I finally found a kiss

That can't exist in a town like this

We wanted to bound our wrists to something secure

Something with comfort

Something with substance

Something mature

But something shouldn't be short of perfect

For the world to call it brilliant

And I'm sure that we would have found it, love

But we were only children then

Her name was innocence

Her name was burgundy

Her name was amethyst

Her name was urgency

Her name was indigo

Her name was clarity

Her name was whispered

Where the angels wouldn't dare to speak

Her name was honesty

Her name was summer rain

Her name was chamomileWitness - Only Children - http://motolyrics.com/witness/only-children-lyrics.html

Her name was hunger pangs

Her name was ivory

Her name was fulfillment

Her name was music

But we were only children then...

And now,

I walk in rainstorms, waiting for hale stones

Looking for goosebumps that translate to braille poems

I was thinking of you

Treading the trail home

Dealing with the weight of the world

Wearing on frail bones

Disjointed and withdrawn

Patiently pacing the piece of the planet

That my parents lived on

Cause lately, I'm lost

And I've been looking to get this heart centered

On something besides the comfort I find

In a pen and a pad and a bartender

You've been the injury

I've hidden from these symphonies

That lingers in my inkwell

When I wonder what you think of me

I wanted to wage a war

That I wasn't aware that I could win

But that was then

I've been in a battle with nobody but my self since

So, whenever the wedding bells are ringing

Is when the phone won't be

And we'll know that we're getting closer to the moment

You won't know me

When I was only that regret

And you were only that one in a million

Limited opportunity
