lyrics

Town was two below freezing
You were dressed for July
Made a frame with your fingers and took a picture with your eyes

No time for second guessing
As we both jumped the gate
Took a sobering breath in and held it for a count of eight

Last I heard, you were leaving
For somewhere down by the coast
Someone said you’d been seen in some indie music video

Now I can’t pass your parents’
Without my mind playing tricks
I catch myself counting seconds whilst trying to make the image stick

Oh my god, who’s casting that silhouette on the drive?
Foot down as fast as I can before I figure out it’s yours
Can’t untrace these lines
Yeah, we are untethered
It’s better
I swear
Not out of mind but out of sight

Had the world at your fingertips
Embraced the doubt as it lingered in
You were built for much bigger things
Believe it

In the right kind of light you could be iridescent, effervescent, something to sing about
Something more than this fucking town

You’ve been holding it in now let it out
