lyrics

The sky calls out the loudest
To those who have clipped wings
Guitar rings out the proudest
With tension on its strings

The words mean so much more
When you keep 'em to a limit
Seconds are most savored
When you only got a minute

Where the current is restrained
The river overflows
Wider and higher
In the forest of hidden desires
Burn the brightest fires
Restrained

A lover’s face is clearer
Right before she says goodbye
The stars can better lead us
In the deepest darkest sky

The sun is always warmest
To those stuck in the cold
The happiest endings are those
In stories not yet told

Holding back
Restrained
Nothing can be lost
Nothing can be gained

Holding back
Restrained
Nothing can be lost
Nothing can be gained

Crumbs taste so much sweeter
To those with hunger pain
We thirst most for water
When it’s going down the drain

The urge to breathe is greater
When you gotta hold it in
And love is all the stronger
When it’s doomed from the beginning
