Elysian Field Follow

Reflections in water of what you could be
Wave crashes over, tides pull you under
If you've ever wondered why you barely breathe

All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things that I want you to know by now
All the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow

As you grow older and you live through a war
Before you know it, the eyes of a storm
Will rain upon you, not like you never knew
No, like you've never seen, like never before

All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things that I want you to know by now
All the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow

These ugly places, I don't want you to see
These smiling faces, I don't want you to meet
When your heart's extended out, don't try to tear it out
You'll never be without the love that's between you and me

All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things that I want you to know by now
All the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow
Learned on your own, learned on your own somehow

Reflections in water of what you could be
Wave crashes over, tides pull you under
