I Am Error

I've never felt more alone than in a crowded room waiting on the air to pollinate and bloom
We wear the wound of childhood for life but that doesn't mean we have to suffer to survive

All I want is clarity
No matter what I do you'll grow away from me
I love more than I have ever loved myself
I've got to change that if I'm to give you everything I never had
This aching nerve is stretching towards the sun

I've got this baggage in my lungs, I don't want to pass it down to you
I've got to heal these open wounds to save you

Only love will save us
Only love can change us
We've gotta wade into the river where we let go of the aching in our souls
Only love will save us

And how cruel is life that we have to lose what we love?
And how much we miss our innocence
Did it ever exist?

I've got this baggage in my lungs, I don't want to pass it down to you
I've got to heal these open wounds to save you

Only love will save us
Only love can change us
We've gotta wade into the river where we let go of the aching in our souls
Only love will save us

I can't stop this recurring dream where my childhood house is burning and you're trapped on the second story
I keep trying to climb the nearest tree but the branches keep on breaking
I swear that you won't suffer like me

Only love will save you
Only love can save you

Only love will save us
Only love can change us
We've gotta wade into the river where we let go of the aching in our souls
Only love will save us
