lyrics

It took a long time to let your lips know
More than the words on the page
It took some more time to sense the soft glow
From every year of your age
But you can’t seem to recall
The moment you watched as all
Of life’s sweet love got blown past the horizon

You lost everything
To the winds that you weathered
But you found a string
Good for keeping you tethered to the world
This precious world
Go on and try the world

It wasn’t you ever-orchestrating
Some friends just needed to leave
It’s not your self-doubt makes you amazing
It’s more your largesse to grieve
And like luxuriant spring
Permission isn’t the thing
You need to have to blossom in the sunrise

You lost everything
To the winds that you weathered
But you found a string
Good for keeping you tethered to the world
This precious world
Go on and try the world

And sweetheart that there’s the ground
And darling that there’s the sound of the birds by your side
Now swoop a little bit lower
A little bit lower

You could repeat their perfected story
On every step toward the light
And be the right girl in all her glory
For so long since you’ve been alright
They trained you always to give
But you think you’d like to live
The doctor sighed, “We’ve got ourselves a heartbeat”

You lost everything
To the winds that you weathered
But you found a string
Good for keeping you tethered to the world
This precious world
Go on and try the world

Wild winds that you weathered
Now you’re gonna keep tethered to the world
This precious world
Go on and try the world
Hold on and try the world
You’re here to try the world
