Lanterns

wet floors and sandy sheets, cream walls and headaches
you couldn’t breathe, we had to beat the tears
so I got out my magic cards and showed you some tricks
I wanted you to see me strong
turns out I’m not tarzan, just an ordinary man

so we'll leave it at beautiful
now our lanterns gone up in the sky
it had some holes it swayed side to side
for a minute we thought that it would catch alight
it doesn’t have to be so sad
when I look back on these years they were the best I ever had
Girl, you’re the best I ever had

my pedigree, it scares you
you got a bag of love but you’re waiting
when I looked into your eyes
I saw defeat for the first time
but you’d always been so strong
yeah you’d always been the one
Maybe its my time to go and your time to shine
and our time to move on

so we'll leave it at beautiful
now our lanterns gone up in the sky
it had some holes it swayed side to side
for a minute we thought that it would catch alight
it doesn’t have to be so sad
when I look back on these years they were the best I ever had
Girl, you’re the best I ever had

so we'll leave it at beautiful
now our lanterns gone up in the sky
it had some holes it swayed side to side
for a minute we thought that it would catch alight
it doesn’t have to be so sad
when I look back on these years they were the best I ever had
Girl, you’re the best I ever had
