Lyrics

I'm waiting on the wheels to touch down
 in the city I was born in
 light is spreading all across the skyline now
 we're on our way to mourning
 and I didn't drink a bloody mary on the plane
 cause I wanted you to see me the way that I was then
 I never knew my own skin could feel so foreign
 So take me back to the house that I grew up in 
 tell me somehow 30 years are not for nothing
 I'll allow, maybe forever is just pretending
 and all these stories have an ending
 Cause this was a thing I knew for sure
 when all the world was faceless
 but love is not a perfect word, it knows no time or place
 and there's no bridge that we could burn
 I'd still find my way
 I know it like the river knows the rain
 And the voices in the yard
 with their make believe games
 angels on the backs of playing cards
 our sins, our saving graces
 and the picture sweet and sharper than a razor blade
 I wish I had it all to live again
 While you were sleeping I slipped out onto the back porch
 to watch the snow fall in the streetlight
 it was twisting through the branches of the sycamore
 oh what a night to say goodbye
 Christmas slips away into the morning of the next day
 the things I need to tell you there may not be words to say
 but I came here to spread your ashes like the seeds of a dried flower
 I've been staring at this empty room for hours
 Cause this was a thing I knew for sure
 when all the world was faceless
 but love is not a perfect word, it knows no time or place
 and there's no bridge that we could burn
 I'd still find my way
 I know it like the station knows the train
 like the flowers on the wall,
 I'd count them every night
 when I was too afraid to fall asleep without the light
 and you were only down the hall,
 comforting and quiet
 I wish I had it all to live again
