lyrics

Let’s go back to our secret place
that no one knows but you and me.
And you can say what’s on your mind,
let it wander free.
This is where I’ll confess my love
on the walls of this cave.
And this is where you’ll fall into my arms
and trust me to keep your heart safe.

Shadows, shadows, try your best.
Darkness won’t hold me down.
My heart will keep me safe
and I’ll get you back safe and sound.

I am in over my head,
this feeling might swallow me whole.
Maybe I can open the door
before things get out of control.
I am in over my head,
this feeling might swallow me whole.
My heart gets heavy and I can’t see
much further than what’s staring at me.

Let’s go back to that quiet island
that we used to call home.
Lazy sunny days,
I can hear them calling my name,
but there’s a hint of sadness in their tone.
Remember that last sunset
we were so ready to see
everything else that’s out there
but oh, I wish it were just you and me.

I am in over my head,
this feeling might swallow me whole.
Maybe I can open the door
before things get out of control.
I am in over my head,
this feeling might swallow me whole.
My heart gets heavy and I can’t see
much further than what’s staring at me.

I'll come back to you.
