lyrics

I watch the birds atop the chimney on the building next to mine
I leave my window open just to breathe the air and feel the sky
if there were reasons, I would hear them turn away and go back inside
don't say too much before the mirrors come to tell you that they're right

but now it's all said and done
return the glasses to where they're from
a planted seed of light above you
tell the world that my love is true

go past the days they're always gray until the sunshine hits my face
if I could choose I'd be with you and we'd be dancing in the rain
you would've known just what to do
I'll paint the room and wait for you to come and knock upon my door
can't help but wonder, let it thunder
let it wash away the things I couldn't say to you before

but now it's all said and done
return the glasses to where they're from
a planted seed of light above you
tell the world that my love is true

don't believe me, I can see it
try to whisper but you scream it
do they know it's not about you?
tell the world that my love is true

my love is true, my love is true
