about

A song about looking back at your unhealthy 20's and how one person changes your trajectory for the better.

lyrics

I’ve been watching the grass grow
Up from under the pavement
It’s a valid reminder
This winter’s over
I can’t love you
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t hold you

I’ve been chasing a feeling
Untethered and reeling
On the nights when I’m sober
I know it’s over
I can’t know you
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t owe you

I’ve slowly read between the lines of my own promises

As something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
Something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
I cannot trade it, fake it, doubt it, hide it if I tried
She’s always been my horizon

I awake in the darkness
Grasping for a figment
I was drowning in Heart Lake
She gave a hand to take
And I sense my changing
Another set of eyes to sunlight breaking

I’ve slowly read between the lines of my own prophecy

In the morning I let go of all that I once was
Seeing now how it played out
It dissipates my doubts
And I am grateful
I rest my feet upon the coffee table
