lyrics

You look to the storm with a shuddering, back from farther days
That you might have been through and yet you lose the path which you came from
When the obvious part you've learned is she will never fold, for your worst has shown
But you bore your mistakes with another, that you offered to always find
You always tried

It comes from the north as a hollowing, the chimes that shook you first
The times when the coffee takes so long to ever be raised to the muscles beneath your face
They left you old somehow, like the kids who had pulled your sleeves and wore you down, as they led you unmade
But you look farther out, to the holds of a state, and I could not get over it
Have I offered an honest life?
I always tried

Somehow all worth comes passing by before you rush outside
To say, "Once, I'd known it—even owned, yet chased for my whole life"
And every ounce was you
So get up
Just get up! I can hear the bells stop and bonds forgot
No measures must you ever take to find me here, still under the arbor
Well you're such a precious sight
