it must be written that the
moon elbowed the stars and
said, let's do our best to
make it hard for them
your house turned into paper
cranes, we watched the wind
blow them away
some sorry comfort I was then
the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible
they turned our skeletons to wood,
and scattered matches underfoot
we must walk carefully in place
the circles darken 'round our eyes
and yet our bodies, when combined
they gleam like diamonds in a cave
the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
keep the world without
only the two of us count
two voices loud
it is possible now
though they wore us down
we'll find our way again
heloise gave her whole heart to pete
now eternally sleeps by his side
oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best
what is worth living for is worth a fight
into the night
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
oh, without a doubt
we'll work this out
yeah, they'll hurt us now
on my knees, it makes me want
to scream and shout
yeah, we'll work this out
just the two of us now
keep the world without
moon elbowed the stars and
said, let's do our best to
make it hard for them
your house turned into paper
cranes, we watched the wind
blow them away
some sorry comfort I was then
the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible
they turned our skeletons to wood,
and scattered matches underfoot
we must walk carefully in place
the circles darken 'round our eyes
and yet our bodies, when combined
they gleam like diamonds in a cave
the weight of a mountain
the skin off your knees
from climbing back to me
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
keep the world without
only the two of us count
two voices loud
it is possible now
though they wore us down
we'll find our way again
heloise gave her whole heart to pete
now eternally sleeps by his side
oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best
what is worth living for is worth a fight
into the night
we can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
oh, without a doubt
we'll work this out
yeah, they'll hurt us now
on my knees, it makes me want
to scream and shout
yeah, we'll work this out
just the two of us now
keep the world without

Now eternally sleeps by his side"
Referring to the story of Peter Abelard and Heloise, who had an illicit love affair in the twelfth century. They had a son and secretly married, but were seperated and Abelard was castrated by Heloise's angry uncle. Abelard became a monk, and Heloise became a nun. After Abelard died his remains were given to Heloise and the two are buried side by side in the same crypt in Paris.
It must be written that the moon
Elbowed the stars and said
Let's do our best to make it hard for them
Your house turned into paper cranes
We watched the wind blow them away
Some sorry comfort I was then
The weight of a mountain
The skin off your knees
Come climbing up to me
We can work this out, I believe
Although it seems impossible
They turned our skeletons to wood
And scattered matches underfoot
We must walk carefully these days
The circles darken around our eyes
And yet our bodies, when combined
They gleam like diamonds in a cave
The weight of a mountain
The skin off your knees
From climbing back to me
We can work this out, I believe
Although it seems impossible now
Keep the world without
only the two of us count
Two voices loud, it is possible now
They’ll try to tear us down
But we'll find our way again
And Heloise gave her whole heart to Pete
Now eternally sleeps by his side
Oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best
What is worth living for is worth a fight
Into the night
We can work this out, I believe
Although it seems impossible now
Yeah, without a doubt, we'll work it out
They can’t hurt us now
I’m on my knees, it makes me want to scream and shout
Yeah, we'll work this out, just the two of us
Keep the world without, keep the world
