about

A slow acoustic love song, the lyrics discuss the act of looking back positively at something that felt monumental. It's a song about reflecting on changes and how we have grown as a result of them. Enjoy!

lyrics

Verse 1

we ran and we danced and we fall to embrace
the cryptic notes that lie smooth on your face
the blind child who fell upon a swan
lost in our adventures, we remain withdrawn
the afternoons wonders are a comical haze
your little quirks will be always
the soft simple drops, the falling rain
deep in my arms, our love so vain

Chorus

for hours, for days, my world rearranged
love was a light for the room long unchanged
that became an earthquake for the home
that ticks and tocks with life’s metronome

Verse 2

As our love choked the sun, and withered the days
the cut throat shadow signalled the ways
but love is a drug we always chase
we feel only wonders as we run in the race
as friends swim in rivers, we would hide in the shade
I’d do anything so you wouldn’t fade
I’ll never forget the short term goodbye
with which our love would begin to untie

Chorus

for hours, for days, my world rearranged
love was a light for the room long unchanged
that became an earthquake for the home
that ticks and tocks for life’s metronome

Bridge

before the hour fades
and we crush the cities that we made
before the memories get locked away
and we can’t rekindle a dying flame
don’t run for the door with such haste
couldn’t you just stay where it’s warm and safe?
I can hear the wind is calling your name
your desperate to get out and see the day
but before the earth eats us away
I know you’ll look back when the sky is grey,
and your desperate to know
the all you gave is the treasure I hold
but know, always know your love is safe
from these chipped bones, I must make my way
but know, always know darling, your love is truly safe
your love is truly safe, your love is truly
