lyrics

If we stay this solstice by next year, this season
I will be blooming, giving moon reason to crash from the sky
Raise up the tides
I will wither and die, but not without fighting first

But I'm too passive so it never works
I lack the action so I use my words
You're unaffected by everything I say
I'm sorry I could never say this to your face

I've been hunched over
Bending backwards, my spine is snapping
I can feel it cracking now
I've been hunched over
Bending backwards, my spine is snapping
Maybe that's why we broke down
(Tell me what you want. I know, I know)

I want to be with you
I want
I want

I painted the pictures
I always imagined us so much closer
We tried 'til my wrists hurt
At least I'm still trying
I blurred all our pictures
I always remembered us so much brighter
I tried to relight her
She's just as dull as me

And I have no fabric to hold
To stitch us together, sew into our home

I guess that it's out in the open now
How i went wrong and how you found out
I kept it safe under lock and key
I kept it underneath

I got lost without your hand to guide me
