    I'm sure there are few mistakes, my speakers have been throwing fits. Point out any corrections you have!

    We were born without time
    Nameless in the arms
    Of a mother, a father, and God
    When the world waits for us
    A thousand years in the crush
    Of our eyes, fearless, in awe
    So quietly, we fade into sleep
    Nothing on our mind

    Hoo, hoo, hoo~

    And then we long to be loved
    In the rush, we become
    Somethings we thought we'd never be
    We were surprised by our heart
    Left weary and scarred
    By the nights spent feeling incomplete
    And all those evenings swearing at the sky
    Wishing for more time
    All the promises we broke when we tried
    Wastin' our time

    Hoo, hoo~

    We get old all at once
    And it comes like a punch
    In the gut, in the back, in the face
    When it seems someone cried
    And our parents have died
    Then we hold onto each other in their place

    And I feel the water risin' around us
    Maybe that's okay
    Yeah, I feel the world changin' all at once
    I guess it'll be okay

    Hoo, hoo, hoo~

    And we all had one hope
    There was someone lookin' down
    When we return our bodies to each other
    And the ground

    This is really good!! I have a few corrections though. First it sounds to me like it should be "When the world would wait for us" rather than "waits for us" And then "So quietly we'd fade into sleep" rather than "we fade into sleep" (really minor change). Then to me it sounds like "With nothing on our mind(s)" i can't decide if there should be an s there. And finally, in the next stanza it sounds like "Just wastin' our time" instead of "wastin' our time" So the updated version (assuming I'm right which I may very well not be) is:

    We were born without time
    Nameless in the arms
    Of a mother, a father, and God
    When the world would wait for us
    A thousand years in the crush
    Of our eyes, fearless, in awe
    So quietly, we’d fade into sleep
    With nothing on our mind(s)
    Hoo, hoo, hoo~
    And then we long to be loved
    In the rush, we become
    Some things we thought we'd never be
    We were surprised by our heart
    Left weary and scarred
    By the nights spent feeling incomplete
    And all those evenings swearing at the sky
    Wishing for more time
    All the promises we broke when we tried
    Just wastin' our time
    Hoo, hoo~
    We get old all at once
    And it comes like a punch

    And our parents have died

    And I feel the water risin' around us

    At the end it also sounds like:

    When we return our bodies to each other
    And look around

    aren't the lyrics in the book though? My booklet had the lyrics in it

    I think this was before the album was released? I tagged it as acoustic so I assume it was the version they released prior to the album?

    Funny thing is, even after a year, I'm probably still singing parts of it wrong.
