The Hiatus – Silver Birch lyrics

I was walking around a nearby lake that day
And I was thinking about the things I left behind
Tough subjects left untouched
I was walking down a lifeless concrete street
And I was wondering
How much further I could have reached
How far I could have reached

Then I almost understood

When we were kids
Nothing was left behind the wall
When we were kids
Stars were always shining bright

We're still around the corner
We're on the edge of nowhere
We're aiming to uncover all the stars

I was joking around with a friend of mine
And I was hoping that
A day like this would never end
A day like this would never end
That was only about a week or two ago
Now I am wondering
How much closer we could be
How close we could have been

Night time is so quiet
And it washes away my fear yeah
It won't come crashing down on my head
My life is not pathetic
But there are things I can't let go of
And they won't stop hurting
Holding me back

When we were kids
Nothing was left behind the wall
When we were kids
Stars were always shining bright

We're still around the corner
We're on the edge of nowhere
We're aiming to uncover all the stars
We're still around the corner
We're on the edge of nowhere
We're aiming to uncover all the stars
