lyrics

I remember every night we spent outside
hanging down from monkey bars for hours.
I can’t even count how many times
we fell asleep upside down.

And I swear that winter never came.
We stood higher than every city tower.
You were gonna leave this all behind,
and you asked me to run with you.

And I couldn’t wait to take you all across the world.
Our contrails would weave tattoos across the sky.
But it was an endless summer parade
that eventually took you away.

I always found you at the top of an iron bridge,
staring down at the swells wild blue waves,
thinking about money and fear and time.
You said it didn’t look that far down.
But I swore, “We could handle nights like these,
even if this winter never breaks.”
We had gotten older now,
and I promised that we would stay balanced.

And I couldn’t wait to take you all across the world.
Our contrails would weave tattoos across the sky.
My knuckles white on the steering wheel,
I followed all those highway signs.
Till I found you stepping over the guardrail…

You stood at the edge of all the world,
And you asked me to jump with you.
And I saw you careening down from steady ground
because I chose stability instead.
