I will be premiering this tonight.

On this:

YOU

I would have given you a world without an end

If you had only crossed that bridge you'd built towards me

I drew a treasure map; you held it in your hand

Because the time before you tried – you nearly lost me

It's you, you – the distance I must brave

You, you – the mystery uncharted

You, you – the burning in my veins

You, you – the only thing that matters

Of all the continents discovered on my quest

you were the fairest one – a tantalizing vision

So when I landed on your shores, I loved you best

To make a home with you became my worst decision

It's you, you – the history I've made

You, you – that bears not repeating

You, you – the silence in my veins

You, you – that keeps my heart from beating

Wind is turning on me

waves are churning on the sea

ships are burning…

You.
