lyrics

Grow your hair when the cold air comes and
Clouds the sky
So much space, I can hardly remember
Didn't know I'd known you all this time

Touch your face when the color breathes in
Chills your spine
Went outside that morning after sleeping
Wasn't more than the daylight in my eyes
After all this time

Never been one at a loss for words
Less concerned with what I got than what I deserve
I was a portrait, rashly drawn
But you color over all your wrongs
Put down roots where you don't belong

Close your eyes, the waking world won't let you
Turn back time
Held your hand, it was the smallest comfort
There was no other comfort to provide
After all this time

I know what you're thinking
Sometimes, I'll do a lot just to be alone
Tend to your garden till it's overgrown
I know what you're missing
That loneliness pours out of you all the time
I'm the shape of your void, you're the shape of mine
I know what you're thinking
I know that there's no reason you feel alone
That's the reason I feel alone.

Such a beautiful dusk, such a beautiful destiny
a pitiful mess, a mass of miserable flesh, there would be nothing left of me
You said "it's all I need, where would I be without you now?"

If you can feel broken
And always get better
We'll be like chains in the rain, all weathered together.
