The Day After Everything Changed

It was like a hummingbird
flew through the air between us
Bringing a promise from your lips to mine
a sweet mystery kiss,
like none I'd ever tasted
Straight to my head like wine
I carried home the rush, the crush
your touch still burning on my skin
I'm falling in where I stop and you begin

Leaves they fall
a clock is turning on the wall
Colors change
Iron rusts
You can trust
that you'll never be the same
It's the day after everything changed

Behind the walls are cracks
and truths that will reveal us
Like water breaking stone
buckets of rain have fallen
in the sheets between us
We lie together
We lie alone

So what is Beauty?
What is broken?
Has it faded now unspoken?
A crack in the window pane
can break the world in two

Leaves they fall a clock is turning on the
Wall colors change

Iron rusts
You can trust
that you'll never be the same
It's the day after everything changed
After everything changed
Iron rusts you can trust that you'll never
Be the same, cause it's the day after everything changed
