you drown out the thunder

Grey skies, green eye smile for me
Have i ever told you the way you glow in the dark?
All the times I said I'd give up
all the nights I spent staying up
all the nights you spent telling me what a bad idea it was

you know just how far I can sink
and for some reason you still stand by me
say you will, say you will
and you know I will too
say you won't, say you won't,
I'll still stick to you like glue

grey skies, brown eye smile for me
have I ever told you how you shine in the dark?
there's no lights in here so could you please come here?
Everything around you lights up when you're near

now listen, precious, I know that things are hard
and settle, darling, you know I won't lie
things will stay rough
you're the toughest that i know, and you won't let this one tear you apart
you've been through worse and back
and you'll see your light when you remember your part

now listen, precious, I know that things are hard
and settle darling, you know I won't lie
I know what you're thinking and we both know it's not right
you know I've been there before and you didn't let me give up the fight
I know what you're thinking and you never wanted me to
so why wouldn't I extend that same courtesy to you?

grey skies, green eye smile for me
have i ever told you how you shine in the dark?
grey skies, brown eye smile for me
you'll find your spot with this
listen, precious, call it your brand new start
