Lyrics
0:14Smells on the air
0:15See there it's crushing the final impression
0:19The stains on the paper
0:20Where words fell like water
0:22Unearth all the changes that never did matter
0:26I think it's beginning to freeze here
0:41Caught in the rage and the fire of things
0:44All the brightness that burns me
0:46I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
0:49When the nakedness comes
0:51I am shocked by the color the glorious weight of your skin
0:56Comes alive
0:58And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
1:03Might be nice
1:05But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
1:10Comes a time
1:12And I always thought I'd make it up to you
1:30Here please forgive me
1:31Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
1:36Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
1:39Intellectualize over and over
1:43This helplessness suits us
1:45Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
1:49Worn all our edges away
1:51You are watching breathing and baiting
1:54Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
1:57For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
2:01Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
2:04I carried you down to the St Lawrence river
2:08The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
2:14Solid by morning
2:18And I'll freeze here
2:21Winter by morning
2:26Comes a lie
2:28And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
2:33Might be nice
2:35But it's only if my own destroyer
2:40Comes alive
2:42And I always knew I'd make it up to you
3:00I saw on your face such a curious grin
3:03As I let go your hand
3:05I was desperate to hold you again
3:07But you're sinking so deep in the water
3:10Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
3:16Solid by morning
3:20What I wanted
3:23Winter by morning
3:29Comes alive
3:30And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
3:36Night be nice
3:37But I always knew you're my destroyer
3:42Comes a time
3:44And I always thought I'd make it up to you
3:58Solid by morning
4:02And I'll freeze here
4:05Winter by morning
Smells on the air See there it's crushing the final impression The stains on the paper Where words fell like water Unearth all the changes that never did matter I think it's beginning to freeze here Caught in the rage and the fire of things All the brightness that burns me I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark When the nakedness comes I am shocked by the color the glorious weight of your skin Comes alive And I never thought we'd make it back so soon Might be nice But I knew you'd be your own destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Here please forgive me Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness Held in the face of the things that I don't understand Intellectualize over and over This helplessness suits us Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners Worn all our edges away You are watching breathing and baiting Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I carried you down to the St Lawrence river The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here Solid by morning And I'll freeze here Winter by morning Comes a lie And I never thought you'd get me back so soon Might be nice But it's only if my own destroyer Comes alive And I always knew I'd make it up to you I saw on your face such a curious grin As I let go your hand I was desperate to hold you again But you're sinking so deep in the water Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted Solid by morning What I wanted Winter by morning Comes alive And I never thought you'd make it up so soon Night be nice But I always knew you're my destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Solid by morning And I'll freeze here Winter by morning
