Ben Folds and Tall Heights - Moments

Let's tell ourselves that it's great to be alive
Let's take our time to open up our eyes
We mumble words that sound meaningless
When meaning is impossible to find

We try to hold these moments as they glow
We'll breathe them in and then we'll let them go

And so I ask you to bear witness to this crime
Of letting my heart shine
I'm ready to surrender

Let's take the signs like the lonely hummingbird
That hummed right by, I hummed along assured
These stormy skies won't be dark enough
To throw me off when everything's aligned

The sand in the face, the dull and quiet pain
But for now seems so far away, it seems so far away

And so I ask you to bear witness to this crime
Of letting my heart shine
I'm ready to surrender

We try to hold
These moments as they glow
We'll breathe them in and then we'll
Let them go
Let them go

And now we lie together, face up to the stars
I'm letting my heart shine
I think I just surrendered
