lyrics

So still is the street we lived on
So still are your lights that once winked at me
My eyes strain to catch you familiarity
Not a signal you see
Not a signal you make

How old is the air I’m breathing
How vast is the darkness where I cannot be
The skin that I fought to hold on to
Never taught me to live
Never taught me to choose

I’ve seen it on the mountain
I’ll seek it from beyond, overseas
And I’ll sing it
Over and over
Till the evening falls on my days

I wonder how it hurts if I try to live
So broken, but not over
You let go, you push me on
So sweet is my wake from the inside
Within comes the good
Within comes the strength to go

I’ve seen it on the mountain
I’ll seek it form beyond, overseas
And I’ll sing it
Over and over
Till the evening falls on my days
