Steps

Over on your island, counting your clocks

Moments move to months

You're living like this too long

Into every evening, people dress up

Celebrating something, let's invite everyone

Coming, last call, you stall and tell me

I will never be the one worth breaking

When everyone's gone

Come say what you mean for once

Stumbling home, you slowly find sleep

I awaken to the brightest morning

When everyone's gone

Come say what you mean for once

If oceans are deep enough to drown in

And lightning may shoot me down

We're hoping that we were only children

It's war and I'm bolder now

Pull me towards your corner, holding your court

Sure, I've seen better

Surely we've both been worse

Promises you earn like the ink on your back

Steps to see it first

Tell me, how do I make it last?

Coming, last call, you stall and tell me

I will never be the one worth breaking

When everyone's gone

Come say what you mean for once

Stumbling home, you slowly find sleep

I awaken to the brightest morning

When everyone's gone

Come say what you mean for once

If oceans are deep enough to drown in

And lightning may shoot me down

We're hoping that we were only children

It's war and I'm bolder now

And all of my blessings

Just let me forget them

I need a night to fall apart

I slept in my front seat

The cold cutting through me

I'm frozen in familiar dawn

Woke, reset, a second start

If oceans are deep enough to drown in

And lightning may shoot me down

We're hoping that we were only children

It's war and I'm bolder now
