lyrics

Something's going on
Winter like drift ice moved us apart
With all these white lies like scars in sun
I'm only left with half
And always coming back
The repeating route
From gravel to the school
But it was never you who's left behind
I'm bitter and I'm sad we went silent
It's always hard to tell when trees will fall (trees will fall)
From this concrete box it all feels far (you're too far away)

Don't move! My voice always falls out of tune
Don't move! I loved you and I still do
Just like drift ice
Just like drift ice

(The pressure in my chest will shake the floor)

The real ghost is the wind
And concrete is her twin
Accumulating down the avenue
Cements my breath as I walk to you
The moon hangs by a thread
Stitched with sulfur hair
I see it hanging bare
Peeking through the glass
And if you move an inch it might lose grip
A pendulum with nothing in swing

Don't move! My voice always falls out of tune
Don't move! I loved you and I still do
Don't move! I loved you and I still do
Just like drift ice
Just like drift ice
Just like drift ice
