lyrics

And I wished we were all alone
So I could know your hands, and know your soul
All I want is to come in from cold
You look to my head but my heart’s so old

But it’s clear to me you’re on the run
I wish I could see who you’re running from
And this lure sits on my aching tongue
Yeah I still believe I can be someone

(chorus)
So go ahead and take me by the hand
We’ll make it if we both learn how to see
We’ll leave this place and find another land
Teach me what you know, and I’ll teach myself how to be

For so long this heart’s been on it’s own
But it never shakes like these ancient bones
I don’t need these walls I'm not alone
Got my friends and family they’re my home

I swore I’d never fall that hard again
I said I’d never let somebody else in
And then you had to go and smile at me
Guess I was wrong, and now I'm falling again

And hear me out, you know I don’t wanna leave
But I would in second if you asked me
Because darling you’ve got more of a pull on me
Than the tide’s got on the sea

[chorus]

First few weeks home and I just feel so out of place
The town that I grew up in’s not the same
Everyone says I'm the difference
Maybe they’re right, and I'm the one that’s changed

And I know that it’s been hard this year
And it’s quickly becoming clear
That the coming winter could be colder than the last
But at least most of my friends are here

[chorus]
