This is my renaissance 
This is my one response 
This is the way I say I love you 

This is my second chance 
This is my one romance 
This is the cutting line 
On which I stand to show you 

It happened fast in a flash, just this evening 
As I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes were screaming 
As the car crashed, broken glass, broke my dreaming 
I hit the dash, so fast my ears are ringing 
My sister’s on the right side just slightly leaning 
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing 
My brother’s in the back, jaw cracked from the beating 
The breath in my chest has slipped and I’m sinking 
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass 
I’m trying to remember all the words you said in the past 
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams 
I hear you sing softly to me 

CHORUS: 
I can be the wall when you fall down 
Find me on the rocks when you break down 
I heard it in the song when you call out 
But I got to say now it’s got to change (x2 this time) 

This is my broken heart 
This is my bleeding start 
This is the way I’ve come to know you 

This is my winding road 
This is my way back home 
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through 

I got a letter today of why she went away 
She said, “It’s better this way, you knew I never could stay.” 
Half empty closets and frames, all that’s left to my name 
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain 
Three years I’ve built this two-face tower for hours on a lease 
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace 
In pieces I’ve broken open to think too much or just enough 
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust 
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand 
Spent my life this far on castles made of sand 
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand 
Now I can finally stand 

CHORUS x4 

I can be the one 
I heard it in the song 
And I can be the one 
I heard it in the song 

This is my renaissance 
This is my one response 
This is the way I say I love you
