lyrics
Where did he go?
He had me held close
I fell asleep
Stood on my feet
He had gone when I woke
I'll be lonesome
I'll miss him so much
I could die in
The space between
Our last and first touch
I never knew
The world could turn upside-down
Never knew a boy could drown
Looking at the sky
When up's above
The world hates our love
We turn it here
Upon its ear
This world loves us
But when we part
It hits me so hard
There is nowhere
Once we're down there
To be what we are
I never knew
The world could turn upside down
Never knew two boys could drown
Looking at the sky
And the mountain
Once our Eden
Was deceiving
It's a rock
To drag us down
To the deepest floor
Where a lock turned by kisses
Can open the door
To the freest love
We'll ever know
He had me held close
I fell asleep
Stood on my feet
He had gone when I woke
I'll be lonesome
I'll miss him so much
I could die in
The space between
Our last and first touch
I never knew
The world could turn upside-down
Never knew a boy could drown
Looking at the sky
When up's above
The world hates our love
We turn it here
Upon its ear
This world loves us
But when we part
It hits me so hard
There is nowhere
Once we're down there
To be what we are
I never knew
The world could turn upside down
Never knew two boys could drown
Looking at the sky
And the mountain
Once our Eden
Was deceiving
It's a rock
To drag us down
To the deepest floor
Where a lock turned by kisses
Can open the door
To the freest love
We'll ever know
