[Verse 1]

It's far too early to tell

But still she's assuming it's too late

'Cause she's seen families creak and bend and break

Under the weight

And I once believed that gates and grandeur

Held in her impatient heart

As every pulse pounds through golden veins

The freckles on her face

Match the constellations in the sky

[Verse 2]

I'm through with blurring the lines

And letting my failures salt my tongue

'Cause darling I know

That by the grace of whatever is up there

The right words will descend upon me

And I've done my best to break these patterns apart

In guiding the light through the deepest and darkest of thoughts

I found my way all alone

[Verse 3]

And it's been too long to possibly hope for the best

Outside your empty room I sit

And I prayed for the sake of praying

Do gates and grandeur

Hold in her impatient heart

As every pulse spills through golden veins?

The freckles on her face

Match the constellations in the sky

[Outro]

But still she's assuming

The gates to His glorious kingdom have closed

And she's wondering why
