Lilac Hair Strands Lyrics

You know I love your eyes
But the lilac hair strands were the start
Looking myself out though
But the sky grew purple and my heart settled for the ocean

And if one thing could tear me from these chains it would be you
These hands aren't made just for playing
They're made for painting
Painting a picture of us and all that we could do
If we could do anything

They're gonna stop us
So we've gotta run
They're gonna take us
Take us, chase us into the dark
And I wanna be
And I wanna be in your arms
I'll build a bridge to climb
Over this wall they built between us
So meet me at the other side

I don't know why
I compare you to the stars
There's a million worlds at 12 am when you look up, oh
Then I see your eyes
Then I see your eyes and I can find a million more
And I'm sure

That if one thing could tear me from these chains it would be you
These hands aren't made just for playing
They're made for holding
Holding and tracing your bones like I said I would do
Yeah we could be anything

They're gonna stop us
So we've gotta run
They're gonna take us
Take us, chase us into the dark
And I wanna be
And I wanna be in your arms
I'll build a bridge to climb
Over this wall they built between us
So meet me at the other side

I am not going
So don't leave me now
And we are not them
The kids that lost themselves to loving the wrong ones

They're gonna stop us
So we've gotta run
They're gonna take us
Take us, chase us into the dark
And I wanna be
And I wanna be in your arms
And I wanna be
And I wanna be in your arms
So meet me at the other side
