Lyrics:

You wash the clouds away
Knowing you’d appear some day
I find it hard to believe,
Wait and see
If I follow the light
Things would be alright
Like the fresh air that I breathe
You’re my summer breeze
The wind is chilling
I’m starting to freeze
I’m falling like the leaves
And i’m spiralling
I’m constantly falling

—And i could feel the weight of the ocean
It’s water under the bridge
Feels like I’m stuck in slow motion
I bet I could live like this

If only I could show you
What it’s like to be
Dreaming and feeling
The things you bring to me
This isn’t news to you
I thought that you should know
You’re the perfect balance
You’re my September snow
I’m buried to my knees
The love is killing me
If I could just go back in time
Make our stars align
Would you wait?
Wait for me
I said would you wait?

—And I could feel the weight of the ocean
It’s water under the bridge
Feels like I’m stuck in slow motion
I bet I could
Live like this
I could tell you your beautiful
Why pretend when
I know we could both live like this
