How Could I Prepare For This

And when I think about it now

It was nothing like a flashing light

It was a still rain

In the beginning of May

And when I think about it now

It wasn't even a fast ride

I was slow and kept you waiting

I really tried to put it all behind

But it stands out

Like a warning sign

Or a lighthouse

Though the scenes are overplayed

And replaced

Still the rush paints the floor

In a bottomless shade

I used to

Approach the days with hesitation

Waste my time in bed

Approach the age with grief

As if time wasn't running out

Cause we don't know what to call it

When every broken heart is cured

And tell me where are all the anthems

For this kind of love

For this kind of love

I remember being loud

(oh young hearts)

I felt every word like poetry

But now the gap between the lines

Fills every space

It's in the breath before you spell it out

I used to

Approach the days with hesitation

Waste my time in bed

Approach the love with fear

And slowly back out from your arms

Cause we don't know what to call it

When every broken heart is cured

And tell me where are all the anthems

For this kind of love

For this kind of love

Never thought I'd say these words

Always thought it'd need to hurt

You put another rhythm in my chest

How could I prepare for this
