lyrics

Light and sweet in the morning
Strong like soldiers we stand all alone
Hints of gold in our eyes
But our hands betray our hearts as they tremble, knowing
We’ve only moments left before we go

Store your bags and pillowcases somewhere in a dusty drawer
They’ve sworn not to reveal the tears you shed in fear of leaving
Deposit the memories in a little glass jar because
The only change you want , it stays the same

Now you’re here, the past looks so inviting
And now you’re here, you can’t imagine leaving

There’s nothing you own in a world you’ve outgrown
Now you’re headed so far from home
So tie your laces tight,
Feel the breeze on your back and the sun in your eyes
As you light up the sky

Penny for your thoughts
Silver for your silence
Maybe if we shield the sun, the earth will never grow
Holding with a vice grip with the surface getting slicker
My heartbeat getting quicker
How can this be home?

La da da da da
Oh oh
La da da da da

And now you’re here the past feels so nearsighted
Shield your eyes for fear of being blinded

There’s nothing you own in a world you’ve outgrown
Now you’re headed so far from home
So tie your laces tight,
Feel the breeze on your back and the sun in your eyes
As you light up the sky

Light and sweet in the morning
Strong like soldiers we stand, all alone
