behind these walls i started empty
these hollow walls i made my own
and in these walls i lived for something
but now i'll fly far from the stone
behind these walls i loved and lost it
i built up worlds and watched them burn
cradled here i found my comfort
i found the calm after the storm
and i know it's all the past and there's no use missing
and i know i have to leave and there's no use wishing
but i, but i
it was in these walls that i found myself again
it was in these halls that i realized who i am
and the wide world calls but it's safer here with you
and the love that i have found here is safe between us too
behind these walls i saw the shadows
the voice of dreams still meant to come
and in these walls i heard the echos
that told me now i shouldn't run
and i know that every heartbeat i will carry with me
and i know the hope you let me find will never leave me
but i, but i
it was in these walls that i found myself again
it was in these halls that i realized who i am
and the wide world calls but it's safer here with you
and the love that i have found here is safe between us too
now in these walls i will say my last goodbye
it was here we melt down to [?] build the best years of our lives
and if one day you find my pictures and you stare
please don't regret we were in this, we were there
it was in these walls that i knew we'd never end
it was in these halls that the broken came to mend
and the wide world calls but it's safer here with you
and the love that i have found here is safe between us
in these walls, where i laughed and lived and cried
it was in these halls that i chased a better life
safe in these walls is a love that never dies
hidden deep inside is a home i'll always find
in these walls, we are endless
we are safe and sound
and the wide world calls, but it's brighter here with you
and the love that i have found here is safe between us too
