"Virtue" lyrics

The thing 'bout the day that we met I remember
I had this feeling I'd known you forever
Much like a magnet, more like a tether
Without you, I float in the wind like a feather

Try as I may, I'd never hurt you
Though I'm no angel, my name is a virtue
Somebody told me that they can hear hope
In all of the words that get stuck in my throat

Pour out my pockets, I'm empty-handed
I try to explain but they don't understand it
Can you close your eyes and just try to imagine?
Walking toward me, you're holding a lantern

Let ya decide, I'll let ya decide
I'll go along with it, I'll close my eyes
Since you've been gone, there's nothing to lose
Whatever you want from me, I'll let you choose

Sweet is the touch of your newborn wings
We fly in circles and play with the sun
We haven't seen this world before
So fair, so bright, so blue the sky
