Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hope dies, withered on the vine Old before its time Water into brine And dreams die, waiting to be fed Long before they're wed to life [Pre-Chorus 1] So here we are, two ships without a sail No rudder for the gale winds, or the tailspins [Chorus 1] I miss you even when you're near You're leaving, pouring out like tears If dreams die before wе give them life Why should lovе survive? [Verse 2] Hope tries, first you're holding hands Then dreams become demands And passion turns to plans And love tries, blinded by its youth To turn its anger into truth [Pre-Chorus 2] So here we are, twos hips upon the land No anchor for the sand dunes, when the earth moves [Chorus 2] I miss you even when you're near You're leaving, pouring out like tears If hope tries to fight the test of time Why can't you and I? [Verse 3] Feed me, pluck me from the vine Stop the hands of time Turn water into wine And see me, treasure every seed Pleasure in the need - Be mine [Pre-Chorus 3] Here you are, my comet in the sky Afraid to spin too high, and burning as you fly [Chorus 3] I miss you even when you're near You're leaving, pouring out like tears If dreams die, then why should you and i? We were born to fly [Outro] We were born to fly
