lyrics
Head to toe
You know me so
But we're below
Content to float
And it's heavy, you know
When it's in your lungs
These salty tongues
Squeeze me like a sponge
As I soak all I can
Got to save it all for when winter comes
And the ice, it numbs
These frozen thumbs
The sea, it won't breath, child
And neither will we from head to toe
I'd hold you so
If you'd let me know
How our flowers could grow intertwined in the snow
And that's not enough
I suppose, who knows
Deep in my October morning thoughts
And I know autumn won't be enough
Colorful leaves hanging by a thread
Gust of wind, backward spin in my head
We believe falling leaves on the trees
Have no say where they play in the breeze
I'd like to imagine that a soul
Is what allows us to have control
The weeks go fast and the days go slow
With each repeated routine flow
And now my views from a window
As all these morning flowers grow
(You could say I) I keep these flowers in my head
(You could say I) I count these hours in my bed
(You could say I) It's what I want to do instead
(You could say I) I keep these flowers in my head
Deep in my early April time rain
Still no words that can wash away pain
No one can say it, but damn it, we've changed
Seas apart for quite some time now
Now now now now
Really gave everything that I had
I loved fearlessly, I loved hard
And love don't make it any easier, no no
To separate your head and your heart
But springtime brings us life anew
And we'll do what we have to do
I know we'll bloom again some June
But until then, it's goodnight moon
(You could say I) I keep these flowers in my head
(You could say I) I count these hours in my bed
(You could say I) It's what I want to do instead
(You could say I) I keep these flowers in my head
