If You Were A Stone

If you were a stone then I'd be the rainTurn you to sand as the time slips awayIf you were a tree then I'd be the earthClutching your roots as you reach skywardI am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't sayIt's never easyThen it hurtsLike scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to youBut we're both moving in reverseI wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it byRight now I'm alright if you're just fineBut if you were a stone then I'd be the rainTurn you to sand as the time slips awayIf you were a tree then I'd be the earthClutching your roots as you reach skywardSome nights you're a photograph fading in my memorySome days I feel you on my skinWe're trading silenceThere are words that seem to steal our breathAnd I just dream about your lipsI wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it byRight now I'm alright if you're just fineBut if you were a stone then I'd be the rainTurn you to sand as the time slips awayIf you were a tree then I'd be the earthClutching your roots as you reach skywardWe'd count the starsMy hands in your leavesAnd I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleepIf you were a stone then I'd be the rain, Turn you to sand as the time slips away
