lyrics

Gone are the days of mirages turned ache
Put spin in my axis, put numbers to days
That genuine flow, that warm fire glow would kill off my green light, and that stump I called passion would defy the odds and see life
I woke up to Spring, gift under her wing
Thought I was immune to that beautiful sting
Was pruned in my mind, in that pool for some time, but yours was so blue, I just needed to dive to the bottom, oh what a view

The pool, the pulp, the rings beneath the skin
You traced my palm, I asked you to come on in

I rock back and forth in your crescent moon arms, beneath that umbrella of impregnable warmth
Lilium's poise and cascading voice
Sent me down the iceberg
Caught a glimpse of the tip that ignited an insatiable thirst

The roots, the bulb, the flower still blossoming
Unlocked your palm, got pulled through the opening
The peaks, the pines, the gardens encased inside
They pierced my wonder, I opened another eye

Sitting by the water, ice cream dripping down our gladly taken hands, we always miss the sunset, guess we'll see it next time's what we always say, we're always funny that way
Huddled by the fire, Sandy forced us to dig deep under our skin, another bottle empty, I hope that the power never comes back on, it's selfish but I feel so warm
Driving to the end, another mix that we will play until it's dead, a breezy picnic on the cliffs, just seeding my nostalgia, hold my hand and gaze off into the expanse
