Cathedral

from Big Blue by Kylie V

/

lyrics

My lungs are a cathedral
Every other night I lie there void of course
Light me up like incense as I burn away
Make me feel like there's nothing left to say

Your smile is morning dew
I'm never looking at you quite like I want to
Build me up inside your head as I melt away
Make me feel like everything's okay

And you look at me like the golden leaves
Never meant a thing to you
And you smile at me like you want to be
A part of something new

Breathe me in, yeah, inhale me
I'm a mess and I guess you like it that way
Ooh, you let me know, baby
You let me know
Living like we're living for the day

And you tell me something I never thought I'd hear
And I whispered all my dreams in your ear
And I never thought I'd know but it's so clear
But it's gonna be a few more years

Oh it's gonna be a few more years
Yeah it's gonna be a few more years
Oh it's gonna be a few more years
Yeah it's gonna be a few more years

But I'll kneel at your altar in the pouring rain (Oh it's gonna be a few more years)
Until there's nothing left from whence it came (Yeah it's gonna be a few more years)
Until the shadowboxers lock the doors at night (Oh it's gonna be a few more years)
And I am left alone with everything you give me (Yeah it's gonna be a few more years)
And I'll yell along as I wash out the blood (Oh it's gonna be a few more years)
To some arrhythmic folk song born of hate and love (Yeah it's gonna be a few more years)
I'll keep romanticizing every thought I have (Oh it's gonna be a few more years)
Until there's nothing left, until there's nothing left (Yeah it's gonna be a few more years)
