Lyrics

The first snow First winter of my life I was told it was the height of me The first dance Well the first one that counted Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights All this ancient wildness That we don't understand The first sound of a heartbeat To riots roaring on This is not the love you've had before This is something else, this is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else, this is something else It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth The first light First light on the silent shore Just the ships at anchor, me and you The way home This is always the way home So you can rip that map to shreds my dear But all we ever wanted Seemed miles and miles from here And the first days in a strange new land Awaken beasts in us This is not the love you've had before This is something else, this is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else, this is something else It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
