lyrics

The morning waits for you
Don't try to fight it
Don't try to make it still
There's nothing you can do
Happening too soon
It's not up to you

But tonight
You're alive
There's twice the stars in bloom
The lows
The highs
Can't tear you from the view

The grass under your weight
The air is velvet
Pulled across your face
The moment hesitates
But every flower fades
And leaves decay

But tonight
You're alive
There's twice the stars in bloom
The lows
The highs
Can't tear you from the view

Caught in the flow
Silent as a tombstone
Nothing below
Headed to the threshold
Heavy thoughts in a heavy head
Pacing in your mind again
Fixate on the end
Running from one thing into the next
Always running out of breath
There's never time to rest

But tonight
You're alive
There's twice the stars in bloom
The lows
The highs
Can't tear you from the view
But tonight
You're alive
There's twice the stars in bloom
The lows
The highs
Can't tear you from the view
