The summer was a blur of discovery & heat
The days are cold & getting colder by the week
Light that flakes all around you like a snow
That you never got to see fall a year ago
Shaking & shivering in the frost like a flower
The nights are long & getting longer by the hour
Words to a secret song you sing to yourself
Promises you make but keep underneath your breath
Baby when you dream do you recognize
Do we share the street, do you pass me by
Do I look the same when you close your eyes
Do you know my face after all this time
What good is waiting when you never reach the front
What good is praying when you don't get what you want
Struggle with faith & wrestle with your doubt
With how you can live with what you can live without
The ice that melts against the warmth of your cheek
Moments slip fast & slip faster as we speak
We were never meant to be long for this earth
We were born to bring love into this world

The years show through my skin like light behind a curtain
A truth that's sinking in, a future so uncertain
If I ever wanted more I never thought of it before
It was never something I could hold
I'm always up against it, I'm always running out of time
If I could keep this moment & preserve it in this light

I always wait an extra minute too long
I always stay an awkward moment too late
I can't remember when I've been so wrong
If I tell you can you keep it safe
Can you forgive me
Can you help me see
Will you forget or will you set me free
I was reckless, I was cavalier with my intentions & my time
I know I'll never regain all those years
I'm always centuries behind
I can't tell where the disappointment ends
In the silence hanging in the air
Even snakes get to shed their skin
Secrets like a smile behind your hair
