[Verse 1]
As I've stared at the forest so long
It started to remind me of you
In a lonely spot, I looked over the bluff
I thought, "My God, how you would love this view"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I reach out when I miss you
You say it's not enough
And love, that's true, mmm
[Chorus]
A single cell collapsing
Oh, hold my hand, you'll hold your scarf
The right hand on your cigarette
Isn't trust like an angel's touch?
So sweet and loving
Oh, babe, you're such a pretty one
Fireworks above us
It's the time before mourning
The time before mourning
The time beforŠµ mourning
The time beforŠµ mourning
[Verse 2]
But you say, "Hang on, hang on"
You're getting tired of it
I know, I know it's just the mood of the weather
Or something, something more
And it's a brainstorm, brainstorm
You're feeling foggy
In the nighttime, I called
I said, "Just love me some more"
You said, "Just love me some more"
[Chorus]
A single cell collapsing
Oh, hold my hand, dear, I'll hold your scarf
Right hand on your cigarette
Isn't trust like an angel's touch?
So sweet and loving
Oh, babe, you're such a pretty one
Fireworks above us
It's the time before mourning
The time before mourning
The time before mourning
Time before mourning
[Bridge]
You told me once of this magnificent stained-glass window
At the top of the stairs in your parents' old house
The one from [?] times
How the light would bend to the will of the glads
Letting itself be altered and shaped
Until it hit its original note, its god-given purpose
There are still times that I think of you as that window and me as the light
How taken was I with every word and action
Moved, repurposed, shifted, us willingly in love
That's all I think about now
[Outro]
Come close
It's daybreak
And I yearn for those golden waves
