Revolutions

You look familiar, like a home I used to live in
I don’t recognise the rooms, they might have torn down half the building
While I find some kind of comfort in the way you call my name
I will not stay
Stole a date, you drove across the coast to see me
Always left something behind, so that you always had a reason
Kept it close enough that I could reminisce the way it’s maybe not the same
It doesn’t change
There’s broken glass in all the sand beneath us
There’s always «maybe this time»
If this is love, then I don’t wanna be a part of it
I have seen the way it ends, despite the highs you always start with
If this is love, then take my name off of your tongue
I can’t handle all the madness, I refuse to be a part of it if it’s love
I called you names.
Little names that held a promise
I tried my best to call you distance but it wasn’t what I wanted
You did your best to keep a guard and so did I
It’s not too late
There’s broken glass in all the sand beneath us
There’s always «why won’t you try?»
If this is love, then I don’t wanna be a part of it
I have seen the way it ends, despite the highs you always start with
If this is love, then take my name off of your tongue
I can’t handle all the madness, I refuse to be a part of it if this is love
But maybe you can save my soul
Maybe you could be the half that makes me whole
Maybe you might not let go
I found your waves, crashing down upon the coast
Of everything that I was sure of, every skeleton and ghost
And in that moment I remember, I was safe, I heard you say
It doesn’t have to be this way
If this is love, then I need you in every part of it
Every single taste of madness, every high burnt in my heart and
If this is love, your name’s already on my lips
For all the miles we are apart, I will fight through every part of this
If it’s love, tear down the walls within my soul
Cause you are beautiful in ways that I never even known
If this is love then this is love, if this is love
