Strange Harmonies

And in those weeks after the war We tried to walk a million miles To find the things that we had lost And let ourselves go for a while We needed time to make mistakes A chance to change or stay the same To break with what we’d done before And sleep to dream of golden days I wanted all of you You wanted all of me And I was standing still Then I was falling free We stayed awake for 7 days We wrote our names on paper bags People and places fade away And conversations start to drag When we survive the fiery crash Will you say prayers for all the dead? When you put on your lion’s mask And shadows fall around our heads If I have all of you And you have all of me to fill the empty space With strange harmonies And I’ll have all of you And you’ll have all of me Cause we were standing still And now we’re falling free
