lyrics
give me a breeze i can feel but also see
give me eyes, i wanna have new sight
give me a sea ‘cause i wanna feel his kiss upon my skin
give me life, i wanna live tonight
the years engrave acres into the heart
and the snow’s aloft in the trees in your backyard
and the snow drifts throughout the course of my veins
buffer my blood and lift my pain
get me caught in the clots it creates
get me caught in the clots it creates
take a slip into solitude and fall asleep
between train cars, airplanes, lamppost remedy
pour your heart into a cup of tea and leave it there to seep
warm your bones before the sparkle gets too deep
the years engrave acres into the heart
and the snow’s aloft in the trees in your backyard
and the snow drifts throughout the course of my veins
buffer my blood and lift my pain
get me caught in the clots it creates
get me caught in the clots it creates
give me breath and wade me on through the icy waters
give me a simple spring seed and lofty light
there’s rows to be stitched and sown across yarn farmland later
give me water to nourish the sprites
give me life, give me life
give me life, give me life
give me a shutter sunrise, some room to breathe
give me life, i wanna live tonight.
