The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a child to your voice
To the sound though it can eat me alive
Ten toes and ten fingers
Any sense that i've had in this life
Won't you stay a while, kill some time
You know that i'll make it easy, easy and i know
Know it wouldn't be forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
Couldn't you still try
I want to see you
It's not good enough to have you here in my head
Want the spray from the sea
Come on, i'll make it easy and i know
Know it wouldn't be forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
Couldn't you still try [x9]
Things i've said in a rage can still be unsaid
Took the cold from my bones
Took the cold from my head and i know
Know nothing stays forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
Couldn't you just lie [x8]
I'm a child to your voice and i know
Know nothing stays forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
Forever i've known nothing stays forever
And i know
Know nothing stays forever
Forever i've known, forever i've known, forever i've known
