Lyrics For Shelley (Unheard) - A Lot Like Birds

I remember proudly stepping over glass
That you said could never cut me
If I walked where you walked,
Kept my hand in your hand
So I clung onto you
I remember soundly leaping over rocks
That you promised I would never trip on
If I kept my eyes up,
Nothing would surprise us I always wondered how
You never seemed to fall, you never seemed to be out of place
Whenever we were lost, you'd end up happy there anyway
I remember sleeping on a tile floor, felt the nurses gently wake me
'Sir, you can come in now, she's waiting to see you, I wish that she were well.'
There were rocks in your back, there was glass in your hair
You tried to smile but it wasn't really there
You took my hand in your own,
Said 'this feels like home' and you begged me to take you there
You never seemed to fall, you never seemed to be out of place
Whenever we were lost you'd end up happy there anyway
Saw you fading, couldn't take it on my own
How I hate it, that a heart so warm can end up cold
I remember dreaming that this wasn't real,
That you'd be there as I'm waking
We both denied
We were scared
You never seemed to fall,
You never seemed to be out of place
Whenever we were lost,
You'd end up happy there anyway
You never seemed to fall,
You never seemed to be out of place
Whenever we were lost, you'd end up happy there anyway
