Towers

(album: Here And Now - 2018)

I found it kind of humourless
Our fallout months ago
I knew you way too well too fast
And it's taken its toll on me
You thought I was an angel
Seemed that I perceived you as a saint
I saw myself within you
And within me you found somewhere to place your faith

I was noble like a knight, I was lucent like a light
I was taller than a tower when I stayed within your sight
I was taller than a tower in your sights
So now I'm not afraid of heights

Was never my intention to
Grow overly attached
Although I'm unsure of what else one's supposed to do
When they are made to feel like that
Will I ever understand why you saw me as an angel?
I told the whole damn world you were a saint
Now I wonder, why do I still hold on?
And try to decipher what went wrong
Seems I'm not as wise as you characterised
And I cannot always see straight

'Cause I was caught up in your clout
I was all you were about
I depended on your deference, counted anybody else's out
'Cause you were noble like a knight
You were lucent like a light
You were taller than a tower
When you stayed within my sight
You were taller than a tower in my sights
So now you're not afraid of heights

Or risk of falling
But now we're fallen in the worst way that I know
I guess all I can do is hope that
If ever in your mind you go back
You pause, reflect, see it in hindsight
As something just so right
(As something just so right)

That's why I found it all so humourless
The fallout on the whole
I knew you way too well too fast
And that's taking its toll
'Cause now I miss you more than you would want to know

We were noble like knights, we were lucent like light
We were taller than towers in one another's eyes
We were taller than towers then
So much taller than towers then
I was taller than a tower in your eyes and now I'm not afraid
