Verse 1: Hydroponikz
It's a cold world, too frozen for scarves and sweaters
And I'm hopin God could guard us before the dark could get us
And this time, my mind's sayin this could be the last
I'm livin it fast, I dash through my frivolous past
From the weeping to the tickles of an innocent laugh
Trickles in slow motion emotions that I never could grasp
The world's spinnin fast, I got a hold on the grass
To keep from fallin off, and all in all I could slip or surpass
All the obstacles, a billion, my conscience is revealing that
Sometimes we act silly and forget to be resilient
Sing for the moment if you blink, then you could lose it
It's so foolish that I was clueless to the beauty that it produces
So my verse is tellin it adversity is definite
Healing scars on a face, imperfect, don't let it blemish it
This is a message to the lonely soul I'm destined with
It's scary as a fairy tale with no happily ever endlessness
Chorus: Kina Grannis
Well I believe in a land
A land where fairy tales await
Where kisses hang on hooks like bait
And swing slowly back and forth before the faces of two lonely souls
Verse 2: Hydroponikz
And I hear the sound of a soul that ain't found
A faint whisper, looking down while we're here on the ground
And I'll never be unbound, I'm just swimming around
Your heart's ocean, I'm just floating
Hope I don't even drown in this
Verse 3: Kina Grannis
Land, in which I'm singing of
Houses such hatred, grief and love
So many wild and crazy things, emotions you would never dream of
Yet they're tearing through your burdened heart, your soaking eyes
And I think it's time I realized the strange reality
That this life, this land, is here and now and this person is me
But I am not gonna waste this moment
Next time
Now when, the night has found its end
You're sitting with that special friend
A pause it drifts between then and your departure
Don't walk away, that's unwanted space lingering in between you and the other
Move in, move in, move in for the kill
Verse 4: Hydroponikz
Still we creep thru the mud while the weakest is snubbed
No time to speak if speakers are aimed at nonbelievers of love
It's imperative, we dare exist through all of the things that evil does
Hatred grief and love to all of the people that we're equals of
It's batter up, no matter what, I'll tell you, it's hell
Would you give up if nobody picked you up every time that you fell
So what happens to deferred dreams of scenes that seem perfect?
Does it dry up in the sun or get lost in serene verses?
And I think it's time I finally realize
All the lies that my eyes could see
So when my weakness tries to make me weep and cry
I keep my stride and i shine so free
So let me summon all of the nerve, find the words and muster the courage up
To close the distances between us so the purest love could nourish us
Hope it flourishes to put the hopeless in place
I see your face I know I'm not puttin this moment to waste
Next time
Chorus: Kina Grannis
And I think it's time I realized the strange reality
That this life, this land, is here and now and this person is me
You will not forgive yourself
You will not move gracefully forward
You will dwell, oh will you ever its hell, let me tell you
And I will not waste this moment
No I will never waste this moment
I will not waste this moment
Next time
