Lyrics

I've been thinking about the space
 You leave in the linens
 The sound the bedsheets make
 When you're not there to fill them
 But if I look long enough
 I see the currents in your company
 Your limbs swim with an undertow
 And the light's too low to let it go
 The way you dance around me on your toes
 Your pockets full of all of the moments that we stole
 Do I underestimate life's ability to prorate wanderlust?
 Darling, can you see the sun in the space we've made to live in?
 (Honestly)
 But for the first time now
 Forever is a possibility
 And wearing nothing but a whisky coke
 We're both too scared to let it show
 That there are waves in you I can't help you dam
 The movements I'll never understand
 You can't keep my peace, I can't start your war
 There's only so much life that we can ignore
 The cold might come to claim beauty we can't name
 Keep what we cultivate in a picture frame
 It will never grow, It will never change
 I won't hold the chain that keeps you in the bay
 So we just dance around it on our toes
 The fear our frame won't handle the weight of the unknown
 So let us look chance in the eye
 Be resolute in knowing
 You can love every single seed and lose your garden to the seasons
 We are nothing if not persistent darling
 We are nothing if not the sum of the people that we love
