If I were a mirror I'd look right deep inside myself
And if things were much clearer I'd see a brighter day
And if you were my lover I'd wrap your locks around my wrists
And shake beneath the shudders that turn to black or fade
For you know that life is never ending
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
She held me down and saved my soul
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go
If I were the summer I'd give my light to all the world
And wake you in your slumber so you could see my eyes
And as your feelings crumble and all the words I keep unfurl
I'll catch you in your tumble and kiss your face goodbye
For you know that life is never ending
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
She held me down and saved my soul
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go
If I were made of water I'd slip my bones into the cracks
And freeze when it got colder to hold the walls in true
And when it came to summer I'd slip my soul into the yard
And give life to the flowers that I never gave to you
But I know that life is never ending
But sometimes the miles can cut you down to size
But I had a love, she was my anchor
She held me down and saved my soul
So take the love you never gave her, and let it go
