Spine
Page France Lyrics

You were my beliefs all rusting over
You were my core values but they were deteriorating

And I was the support within your spine.
I was the one holding you up, keeping you strong

We noticed that the stars were all exploding
We realized that everything we thought we knew was falling apart

So we stared into the sky until we were blind
We searched for answers until it became too overwhelming

Then cut off both of our arms and reached for nothing
We gave up trying to hold onto anything and let go completely

And rewound the frames that twisted in our minds
We revisited our memories and tried to make sense of them

And we watched separate lives in backwards motion
We watched our lives unfold in reverse and saw how they brought us together

So we ended up connected at the sides
We found ourselves closely tied to each other

I wondered if the sky was just a ceiling
I questioned whether there was a limit to what we could achieve

And you wondered if the ground was just a floor
You questioned the foundation upon which we stand

Oh how the world will make a fool of a believer
The world has a way of proving even the most devout wrong

I was a believer once before
I used to have faith in something, but not anymore

You will come home
I believe you will return to me

But the airways in our stomachs (You will come home)
Despite our physical emptiness, we hold onto hope

Never seemed to find it funny (You will come home)
Our situation is not completely hopeless, but it’s not humorous either

As we'd float above the ocean (You will come home)
Despite being lost, we believe we will find our way back

But I loved you from a corner (You will come home)
I have always loved you, even when I felt distant

Through the bricks and through the borders (You will come home)
Even through physical and emotional barriers, our love remains

Without motions (You will come home)
Our love simply is, without need for action or explanation

So we'll place all of our remains (You will come home)
We will preserve what we have left of ourselves

Within a freezer (You will come home)
We will keep our love on hold, waiting for a better time

And believe that they won't spoil (You will come home)
We hope that our love, like our remains, will not deteriorate

And I'll trade being your spine (You will come home)
I will give up being your support

With another one who thinks (You will come home)
Someone else who believes they can be there for you

That he can keep your bones aligned (You will come home)
Someone who believes he can keep you stable

And I'll watch until he finds that (You will come home)
I will wait and see if he can truly be there for you

I'm your home (You will come home)
But deep down, I know that I am where you truly belong
