Every single time I try
Feel like I lose a little bit each time
All that's left are rustling leaves
And ultraviolet harmonies
I'm the one in your trees
Shaking the winter out of evergreens
When you hear the birds tonight
Know that they are singing for me
Every single time you cry
Feel like I lose a little bit each time
What will I find creeping me?
Shadows from the light I can't see
Who's the one in my eyes?
Silently singing into the mic
Whenever you – whenever you come to visit me
I don't know who's really arrived
Can I say the thing I want to say?
And come out okay?
Will you hear me when I say your name?
Without blame?
Or is it the same?
Gotta get back to long ago
When we were in bloom
And swap out the vivid voice
For the ghost in the room
