lyrics

I heard your voice reverberating off of the back wall of the cathedral. It echoed off the wedding bells and disappeared down Route 18. At first I tried to guide it back towards the strings of my heart where your hands pulled, but it was faster and more devious than I could ever hope to be. So I racked my brain for days and days hoping I’d find some magic combination; some special set of syllables to send your heart back to my door. But progress can’t be made if you’re the one who keeps on doing all the changing, and every sentence that I say to you seems to fall just short. If I could change you, I don’t think that I’d have the guts to. My roots have shown through and there’s no room for you here to get stuck in the ground. The distances we drew between did not present a clear and present danger; and when we finally noticed them they were too heavy to move on. And somewhere between Madison and Bellingham I thought I had an answer, but by the time I got to Denver I could plainly see that it was gone. I found you in the night with the porch lights shining bright. In the dead of the fall, that was where I lost it all. Could you be more to me than a future memory of a girl, weighed down by the circumstances found and floundering under the weight of all we’ve yet to be?
