Be This Way Lyrics

The stars were hanging there so nicely

On the autumn night you finally told me

The heady haze of summer days dissipated

And memories faded

That summer always felt so heavy

So full of possibility

The weight of you was all that I could carry

And my days sat empty

I know it's hard to articulate

Something as striking as this

I was waiting to walk away

And I'm so glad I did

Because the urgency that you say you love me

Such certainty, I pray

It's always this way

And I pray

It's always this way

And I pray it's always this way

A few years later and we moved on

From everything we knew and everyone

And looking back, it's all a mess

Well of course except

We're practically perfect

When we return to Earth as stardust

Not even then will I forget

The way you loved me had my whole soul beaming

My journey ended when we met

I know it's hard to articulate (and you said the words that I couldn't say)

Something as striking as this

I was waiting to walk away (and you said it'd always be this way)

And I'm so glad I did

Because the urgency that you say you love me

Such certainty, I pray

It's always this way

And I pray

It's always this way

And I pray it's always this way

I don't want, want, want what I have

'Til it becomes what I had

But I want this, I want this for forever

Everything else is ever changing, nothing stays the same

But I pray it will always be this way

I don't want, want, want what I have

'Til it becomes what I had

But I want this, I want this for forever

Everything else is ever changing, nothing stays the same

But I pray it will always be this way

I don't want, want, want what I have

'Til it becomes what I had

But I want this, I want this for forever

Everything else is ever changing, nothing stays the same

But I pray it will always be this way

I know it's hard to articulate (and you said the words that I couldn't say)

Something as striking as this

I was waiting to walk away (and you said it'd always be this way)

And I'm so glad I did

Because the urgency that you say you love me

Such certainty, I pray

It's always this way

And I pray

It's always this way

And I pray it's always this way

It's always this way

And I pray its always this way

It's always this way

And I pray its always this way
