Lyrics

Hey-hey, oh
 ♪
 Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
 Laid spread out before me, as her body once did, mmm
 All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun, yeah
 Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
 Mmh, and all I taught her was everything
 Mmh, how quick the sun can drop away
 And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
 Of what was everything
 All the pictures had all been washed in black
 Tattooed everything
 I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play, ooh
 I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I sear?
 Mmh, and twistin' thoughts that spin 'round my head
 I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh, I'm spinning
 How quick the sun can, drop away
 And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
 Of what was everything
 All the pictures had all been washed in black
 Tattooed everything
 All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
 Tattooed all I see, all that I am
 All I'll be, yeah
 Uh-huh
 Uh-huh, no
 I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
 I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
 But why, why, why can't it be
 Oh, can't it be mine?
 Hm-hm, no yeah, yeah no
 ♪
 We, we belong, we belong together, together
 We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
