lyrics

Well we were good
I could hear you say
But I felt you slipping
And I felt you slip away
Your hand in mine
I could feel you stray
But I felt you slipping
And I felt you slip away

Cause we tied the rope
To a broken leg
I could feel it stripping
I could feel it strip away
And the tethered ends
Wouldn’t hold the weight
And I watched you give in
And I watched you giving in
I could feel you giving in

Forget everything that we do for ourselves
Let’s just hold it together for everyone else
Hear the bells in the distance, that church on the hill
I still can’t get back there, I’m hoping you will
To the beacons in August that filled up the sky
In the field where you fell
Where we laughed till we cried
I fled from the forest and gave you a name
In the house that we bought in the town I was raised
Where I lived with a stranger in a body you shared
And watched you unravel and flail by the stairs
You shed what was left of what made any sense
We’ve been losing ourselves at each others expense
Lets forget everything that we do for ourselves
Let’s just hold it together for everyone else
Hear the bells in the distance, that church on the hill
I still can’t get back there, I’m hoping you will
