Lyrics
0:28Smells on the air
0:30See there it's crushing the final impression
0:33The stains on the paper
0:35Where words fell like water
0:37Unearth all the changes that never did matter
0:41I think it's beginning to freeze here
0:50Caught in the rage and the fire of things
0:53All the brightness that burns me
0:55I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
0:58When the nakedness comes
1:00I am shocked by the colour
1:03The glorious weight of your skin
1:06Comes alive
1:08And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
1:14Might be nice
1:16But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
1:21Comes a time
1:23And I never thought I'd make it up to you
1:43Here please forgive me
1:45Could we escape all
1:46The bitterness piled upon bitterness
1:49Held in the face of the things
1:52That I don't understand
1:54Intellectualize over and over
1:57This helplessness suits us
2:00Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
2:03Worn all our edges away
2:06You are watching breathing and baiting
2:09Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
2:12For some simple signal
2:14To creep cross your conscience
2:16Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
2:20I carried you down to the St Lawrence River
2:24The banks running dirty the
2:26Water's beginning to freeze here
2:30Solid by morning
2:35And I'll freeze here
2:38Winter by morning
2:44Comes a lie
2:46And I never thought
2:48You'd get me back so soon
2:52Might be nice
2:54But it's only if my own destroyer
3:00Comes alive
3:01And I always knew I'd make it up to you
3:21I saw on your face such a curious grin
3:24As I let go your hand
3:26I was desperate to hold you again
3:28But you're sinking so deep in the water
3:32Outsmarted myself and
3:34So easily gave up what I wanted
3:38Solid by morning
3:43What I wanted
3:46Winter by morning
3:52Comes alive
3:54And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
4:00Night be nice
4:01But I always knew you're my destroyer
4:21And I'll freeze here
4:24Winter 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 colour 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 never 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 And I'll freeze here Winter by morning
