V1:
so this is where i stop
trying to talk to you
i've said all i wanted to say

V2:
i can't try any harder
when harder is all i've tried
i'm standing in the middle
of your eyes

V3:
when they all want you around
it doesn't even out
so i'll just sit low
and sink
down

Chorus (x2):
and maybe you'll see me
when we've been here
5,000 years

V4:
so this is where it ends
never to begin
i've said all i wanted to say

Repeat Chorus (x2)
