lyrics

Iʼm looking out
Iʼm looking in
Iʼm looking backwards
I see the end
And you were stunning as it passed
It rained the morning that you left
I love your colors
Itʼs how I imagine winter
This could last forever
This swirl of stars and fire
Itʼs so beautiful
Itʼs so beautiful
But I wonʼt keep you here
No, I wonʼt keep you here
We will cut the roots
We will dig them out
We will cut the roots
We will dig them out
The dream was always better
The reds were always brighter
Our hands were not so useless
They were made of glass and wire
They were beautiful
They were beautiful
But I wonʼt keep you here
No, I wonʼt keep you here
We will cut the roots
We will dig them out
We will cut the roots
We will dig them out
