lyrics

You said you'd let your hair down
When the dragon went away
So we battled under the cold stars
And even won the day
But as I stood waiting
For your locks to fall around
You stood in your lonely window
Tears fell to the ground and you said

I can think of nothing sweeter, than you and I
No, I can think of nothing sweeter than your heart in mine

But I have built my tower strong
and I must find my own way
And I am not yet at the door
Oh, it saddens me to say
But maybe we found each other
A lifetime too soon

I saw you the other day
Said you looked real good
That's what you're supposed to say
But oh, you looked so good
And we talked into the night
A few drinks later we were dreaming
about a world made of only our rules
Then you looked me in the eye and you said

I can think of nothing sweeter than you and I
No, I can think of nothing sweeter, than your heart in mine

But I have built...
...a lifetime too soon

The greatest adventure is losing yourself
The greatest lie we're told is that we can do this all right on our own

Will you call me in ten long years
To tell me the ring around your finger
Is your greatest prison yet
That you've given him your body
But your soul wishes it was as free
as when you dreamed with me
Will you ask me something that can never be?

I will say

I can think of nothing sweeter than you and I
No I can think of not one thing sweeter than your heart in mine

But you built your tower so strong
And you never found your way
I'm not even sure there's a door
And it saddens me to say
That maybe we found each other
A lifetime too soon
Oh, it saddens me to say
That maybe we found each other
A lifetime too soon
