I've never felt more alone
Than in a crowded room
Waiting on the air
To pollinate and bloom
We wear the wounds of childhood
For life
But that doesn't mean
We have to suffer just to survive

All I want is clarity
No matter what I do, you'll grow away from me
I love you 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 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 (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 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 (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 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 (will save us)
