[Verse 1] Weve loved each other longer now than the falling trees That stood up through revolution and grew out of our need But were called to be much stronger now on days as bright as these When nothing shades our eyes against this darkest mysteries [Chorus 1] Time is a line we stumble and crawl A perilous dream where both of us fall Time is a shadow we venture upon An ocean together we cross like a pond On our way [Verse 2] Under the false ceiling of all we said and did We stood away both hearts and hope like they were safest yet A thief may live among us, who tumbles every code But no wheels finding motion take shelter from the road [Chorus 2] Time is a line we stumble and crawl A perilous dream where both of us fall Time is a lantern held out in the rain A river that rose like a runaway train On our way [Verse 3] Now our story wanders a long way from the page We kiss behind the curtain that falls on every stage Memories wont be reconciled with promises past due But still I promise everything and nothing but the truth [Chorus 3] Time is a line we stumble and crawl A perilous dream where both of us fall Time is a mirror made deeper by light With every good morning Good morning Good night
