ruby red desire

I've got a ruby red desire

Like a virus like my last hope

I've got a ruby red desire

I've got to hear the red bird sing

I've got to rip this cord

And rinse this lazy blood

Clear a path and walk away

 

I've been waiting for the sky to fall

I've been thinking I could lose it all

I've been waiting for the safety net

Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

 

And every memory's a dream

And each uncertainty reminds me why

I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate

Making paper things that fly

 

I've been waiting for the sky to fall

I've been worried I could lose it all

I've been waiting for the safety net

Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

 

I want to live

I want to live

I want to live
