about

lyrics

I never watched it fall.
I never wished it all away.

Stacked it high and thin-
I never thought the wind would blow it all away.

I’d throw my shoes off and you’d laugh.
And we halved the halves we had in half.
And we wrote chapters we will never get back.

So paint my heart black for I’ve nothing left to lose.
And he won’t take me anywhere I haven’t gone with you.
A string of white lights burning out-
Your last words come raining down.
I was the heart you used to hold.
Now I’m the hand that you let go.
Why did you let go?

The moon brings longer nights,
As I lay wondering why you left.

I’d dance across the street,
Beg you to dance with me- and you always did.

I’d throw my shoes off and you’d laugh.
And we halved the halves we had in half.
And we wrote chapters we will never get back.

So paint my heart black for I’ve nothing left to lose.
‘Cause he won’t take me anywhere I haven’t gone with you.
A string of white lights burning out-
Your last words come raining down.
I was the heart you used to hold-
Now I’m the hand that you let go.
Why did you let go?

You and I could stop the seasons.
But you couldn’t find a rhyme or reason.
A moment that was worth believing
