lyrics

We woke up early, expecting snow
Finding only familiar grey tones
of a place I said we'd settle and stay
I guess I got good at running away
We woke up early expecting
a sense of finality, or summation - clarity.
But it never reached me.

I find solace in the knowledge that you're sleeping
to the hum of traffic and your breathing machine.
Warm light bought us comfort,
and a glimpse of what could have been.

I grieved for you in tremors, not in waves,
like they say.
It's why my back aches.
If you're okay,
why do your hands shake?

I got tired of you crying wolf
I stare up at her ceiling rose, all alone.
She talks to me in her sleep and quietly she whispers
and tells me all the things
that could have been.
