Cardnl - Ephemera Lyrics

We'd build a home
At least you'd make me whole
When we're apart I could fold a map
And bring us close
And only knowing peace
You would rest in me
Dress ourselves in each other
Brown and evergreen
Are we in love
Am I what you want
Am I really someone that you
Would ever want
You are for me
There's nothing more I'd need
And every new encounter
Will answer to your memory

Lewis said the pain we have now is just the happiness
The joy we'd held before
So for me great pain you'll be because
No one's ever given me so much joy before
Ephemera
Oh ephemera

As long as our numbered days
I would wait
Yeah, if you would let me
I would wait
You're so beautiful
You make me feel whole
I want someone I want you
To breathe my life into

All I ever searched for
Ever hoped for ever prayed for
Has been found in you
All I wouldn't give is the sum of the absence
Within my mind of any thought of you
Ephemera
Oh ephemera

Meet me in
The very end
We'll leave and fly off
In opposite directions
And I said
I'd be okay
And I thought that I was lying
Until today

You taught me how to love
How to give myself
How to really want someone for
Nothing in return
And if this is what it takes
Then I won't beg you to stay
And I'll be okay and I can walk away
Ephemera
Oh ephemera

I see you in colors
I see you in dreams
I see you in what I love
I see you where I want to be
