lyrics

I ran through the forest
With you right before me
Our feet tracing threads
weaving through the bright foliage.

How did we come to be
Locked inside this mystery
You, after me
Me, after the sea

Flying through the trees
‘Til the sky broke
That fiery star
Clinging to the east.

I stand where the water greets the sand
Waves laze gentle upon my skin
I see your silhouette at forest's edge
Are you a ghost; are you a violet shadow?

Oh but the water’s so cold that these
Hollow bones have started shivering
You’re in the waves and you’re getting smaller
The sand feels warm, but I know it to belie the black water.

Flying through the trees
‘Til the sky broke
That fiery star
Clinging to the east.

I meet the sun to burn my skin to leave me standing in
These lonely inhibitions and a head of superstition.

I swim away like a creature of the sea
The salt frees

Just like a dream where we were swimming in the bay
Except you’re there and I’m still here and I just watch you drift away.

Why have I slipped away
The moon cries

These feet won’t move when I want them to
These feet won’t move when I want them to
