Brilliant lyrics!!!!🙌🏻💎 Loved it! ❤️

My younger brother is moving into a university dorm tomorrow. I'm not doing any full-time post-secondary and overall I'm not really able to move out right now, so I still live at home and probably will for some time. There's all this talking through the household about how weird it's going to be without him here. I've been listening to this a lot for the past few months. I get that hearing this as an older (by two years) sister isn't nearly the same as hearing it as a parent (as the song was written), but. MAN, this song hits different right now. We used to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender on UA-cam in my room on my dying old laptop (it was a hand-me-down from my mom) that took ages to load anything. One year he dressed as a ketchup bottle for Halloween. Another time when I was like 12 I filmed a silly mock "nature documentary" about him on my phone. On his last day of high school I surprised him with brownies and a note reading "congrats on escaping". I was two when he was born. I can't remember a time before he was here. We're staying at the family cottage while the kitchen gets renovated, and there's a ping-pong table in the basement. Mom invited me to play ping-pong with her and my brother earlier today, and I accepted at once because I knew it would be the last time for a long time. I'm thinking I'll suggest a game of Mario Kart, or chess, later tonight. He's leaving in the morning, and with how late I sleep, when I get out of bed tomorrow he'll probably have already left. Listening to this today I couldn't stop crying. I can hardly imagine what it must be like for our parents. I'm tempted to put on the album this is from at the dinner table tonight but I might just cry again, and then wind up explaining why, restarting the song, and then probably mom will cry too

I've held your hand since 1979 You were in a band (still am), yeah, but back then You had hair and your smile was so sublime And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked You used to buy me scotch (still do), yeah But now too much is never enough To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out 'Cause they thought you were drunk (I wasn't) You couldn't lie then, and you sure as hell can't lie to me now You stole the best years of my life (I'll give them back) You got fat, and you're the thigh-high hemline I just can't stop staring at 'Cause I will, I will wait and hope Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep But a place for crows to rest their feet And I will, I will wait and hope Rest my head at night content Knowing where my marbles went The flat we rented was a palace for my queen If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans from a tin And the gin that we brewed in the bathtub She sang, "Do you think I'm sexy?" and, oh God, I really did You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts 'til we cried Oh, if one more guy calls me "darling" then I Swear to you and to God, I will murder them all All the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed You're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed And I'd get in And for some reason, you painted the kitchen lime green And I'd sink to the floor, what's the point any more? And you, you'd reply With a glint in your eye (with a drink in your hand) Saying, "I don't know, but I'm here Oh, dear God (I'm all yours), dear heart, don't cry" 'Cause I will wait, I will wait and hope Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep But a place for crows to rest their feet And I will wait, I will wait and hope Rest my head at night content Knowing where my marbles went I've loved you for a hundred years Certainly fucking feels like it The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour I'm scared of the dark And now, even though you're mad, and these memories won't stay That's okay 'Cause now I get to meet you for the first time every single day And I will wait and hope Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep But a place for crows to rest their feet And I will wait and hope Rest my head at night content Knowing where my marbles I will wait And I will wait (I will wait) And I will wait and hope And I will wait (I will wait and) And I will wait And I will wait and hope

You, you told me I was younger (without you, I'm stronger, I'm no longer) That I was filled with wonder How wrong you were For you, I would have gone so much blonder (my lungs were pulled asunder by) Seen that wild blue yonder and said, "Let's end this, too" So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off Grip the bathroom rug my skin's grown so soft (Get a grip, we're grown-ups) Let's wander 'til the fuckers demand an encore Flirting (wasn't flirting) at the back of a bookshop Come and rip off my socks like you're blasting the locks off of a bank vault (halt) This time we're done for Let's hide under the covers We don't know what's out there Could be wolves So hold me, lover, like you used to So tight I'd bruise you I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you too Every stone you threw I stood on to better see the view I've got something in my eye (I surrender what was) Don't you ever wonder what could have been? All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried Try, please, try for me (Tried my best to get thinner) Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long Those songs we sung, those words we flung For fear of sound All those books that we both drowned And the candle we lit Well, we'll use it to burn this whole place to the ground I'm lost, I'm found in you Hide under the covers We don't know what's out there Can't you hear that scratching? Hold me, lover, like you used to So tight I'd bruise you I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you too Every brick you hurled I'll use to build this world This world, this world, this world Let's hide under the covers We don't know what's out there Could be all our demons, darling Hold me, lover, like you used to So tight I'd bruise you I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you So hide under the covers We don't know what's out there Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot-vampire, I don't know Hold me, lover, like you used to So tight I'd bruise you I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you

This is the realest song ever the lyrics are something to live by ong

i introduced a guy i liked to this band. we didn't work out, but to this day i see a line from this song in his status. he looks happy now. i wish him the best.

[Intro: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] "You look like I need a drink" He winked as he slipped from my grasp to the bar "And you are?" He said "Me?" (Me) "Little me?" (Little me) He called (He called) from the brink of the day (From the brink of the day) He said: "Hey, darling, hey, hey, darling, hey I'm the hardest goodbye that you'll ever have to say" [Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland] You don't know it yet, but I'm the cupid of things That you just didn't get, that you struggled to say I'm the saint of the paint that was left in the pot I'm your angel ellipsis, your devil of dots Every time that you fumble, I'm the laugh from the back When you think about him, my wings start to flap When you make a mistake, my feet lift from the floor And when you lie there awake every night, love, I soar [Pre-Chorus: Madeleine Hyland] I promise you I'll be better I promise you I'll try But like rubbing wine stains into rugs, it's my curse To try and make it right, but by trying make it worse I'm the heartbreak that aches far too much to be shunned All those letters unsent and that garden ungrown I'm the captain of courage that you've eternally lacked I'm the Jesus of wishing to Christ he'll come back [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland] Because farewell wanderlust, you've been oh so kind You brought me to this party but you left me here behind So long to the person you begged me to be She's down, she's dead Instead what is left but this old satin dress And the mess that you left when you told me I wasn't right in the head [Post-Chorus: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland] "You alright?", Ask the boys from beyond "You gave us such a fright We'd hate to see your mascara drip into your pint." "Might you allow me to slip into something more comfortable then?" "Be our guest" With a hoik of her bra, she waved to the bar And slipped into the night [Verse 2: Joey Batey] "Come, devil, come", she sang, "call out my name Let's take this outside 'cause we're one and the same Our gods have abandoned us, left us, instead Take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead" I'm the face that stares back when the screen goes to black When your mum says you look healthy, but you know she means you got fat I'm the tales that the guests will applaud and believe I'm the child that you just didn't have time to conceive [Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey] I promise you I'm not broken, I promise you there's more More to come, more to reach for, more to hurl at the door Goodbye to all my darkness, there's nothing here but light Adieu to all the faceless things that sleep with me at night This here is not makeup, it's a porcelain tomb And this here is not singing, I'm just screaming in tune [Chorus: Joey Batey & Madeleine Hyland] Because farewell wanderlust, you've been ever so kind You brought me through this darkness but you left me here behind And so long to the person you begged me to be He's down, he's dead Now take a good long look at what you've done to me? [Outro: Joey Batey, Madeleine Hyland] He's down, he's dead (She's down, she's dead) He's gone, oh he's lost (She's gone, she's lost) He's flown, he's fled (She's flown, she's fled) Now take a good long look at what you've all done to m

[Verse 1] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] I’m at the brink, don’t laugh (The wrinkles and bricks that we’re left with at last) At the winks I’ve masked (And that drink, will it fix all those questions unasked?) Who’ll save you when you fall? (Who died and made you king of it all?) [Verse 2] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] Who wins this war? You’ve a knack (Now the wind feels so warm on the back of my neck) For applause from the back of the stalls, but you lack (As we walk with the sun hand in hand from the wreck) The conviction to look at me straight and say yes (Some fictions we took to mean fate, believe me, I know) [Verse 3] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] Don’t be uncouth, be a man (Tell the truth to me, love, does my hair look as nice) Don’t lie with your eyes, you know I despise that look (As it did when it once tangled up in your eyes?) You’re home, for God’s sake, I’m (Look at me as you say this, don’t look at your phone) [Verse 4] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] Done with your dreams, they won’t last ('Cause that sun that beams down as my hands touch the grass) Thirty winters will pass, you’ll look back (After summers of fasting, I feel hunger at last) At the woman 50-year-old you will be proud to have known (For the person 15-year-old me would be proud to have known) [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey, Together] ('Cause these plates, they smash like waves) Place your smile in mine (And the wine stains hide the tears) Why stay? Hide the (But that) Breathing you hear, don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise? They’re just battle cries, dear [Chorus 2: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey, Together] (And these lines aren’t wrinkles, dearheart) Hardly knew the words (They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art) I’m dolled up, love, don’t I deserve to just (And as I) Walk away, I know that I’ve been through the wars But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause [Verse 5] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] Come on, love, please don’t start (With you, I could summon the gods and the stars) Sing your notes, play your part (Watch them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart) Then we’ll leave, we were gods (And we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears, we were kids) [Verse 6] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] "Come at me, you blaggards," you’d yell ("Come at me, you blaggards," you’d yell from the banks) From the back of the gallery (Wielding words against make-believe wizards and tanks) Say goodbye, I am not (And by God, love, believe me, I wanted to play too, I did) [Verse 7] [Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] A drunkard, a daughter, a preacher, God knows how (But we sunk into water no creature can know) You dragged us both into the darkness that grows (You dragged us along to watch all of your shows) Oh, dear God (Our devils broke rank, and out of the depths came an army) [Verse 8] [Madeline Hyland, Joey Batey, Together] I won't leave without a fight (I won’t let you turn our last night into this) [Together] I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a break up, dearheart, it’s a season finale [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey, Together] ('Cause these plates, they smash like waves) Place your smile in mine (And the wine stains hide the tears) Why stay? Hide the (But that) Breathing you hear, don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realise? They’re just battle cries, dear [Chorus 2: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey, Together] (And these lines aren’t wrinkles, dearheart) Hardly knew the words (They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art) I’m dolled up, love, don’t I deserve to just (And as I) Walk away, I know that I’ve been through the wars But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause It’s not pain, (it’s applause) It’s not pain, (it’s applause) It's applause [Outro: Madeleine Hyland, Joey Batey] All it took to unearth in the dust and the dirt Some release or respite from the heat and the hurt Was taking the time now and then to ask how I am And now at the end, at the end of all things I’m not going to scream, beat my chest at the wind I’m doing fine

[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland] There's a second wind coming As we lie here in our bed It rattles the bones of our fathers Carries whispers from the dead And you, you light a candle And I make sure the bairns are fed You turn the telly on To drown out your fear You make the bed up silent on the floor So no one will hear us You try so loud to love me I cannot seem to hear [Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey] 'Cause you, you touch ('Cause you, you touch) My skin peels off like paint (My pain) But beneath all of our panting (All our) There's this noise I cannot shake (Panting shame) Can't you hear that scratching? There's something at the door But the wind has picked us up now We're hanging in the air And as you grip me like an animal That you're about to spear "Be good to me," I whisper And you say, "What?" And I said, "Nothing, dear" [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland] Can't you hear it? It can hear you It wants me to Throw the plate at the wall [Verse 3: Madeleine Hyland] I'm the paper cut that kills you I'm the priest that you ignored I'm the touch you crave, I'm the plans that you made But fuck all your plans I'm bored And can't you hear that scratching? I ask your eyes I've got knuckle burn from typing all these lines into your chest And as the belt from your buckle is tightening I make shipwrecks out of my dress And the door below it splinters And the creature creeps inside [Verse 4: Madeleine Hyland & both] And we fall into each other The scratching grows so loud Because that unwanted animal Wants nothing more than to get out And I scream, "What’s the time Mr Wolf?" But you, you're blind, you bleat, you bare your claws And you rip my ribcage open And devour what's truly yours And our screaming joins in unison I cry out to the lord 'Cause if we join our hands in prayer enough To God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey] Can't you hear it? It can hear you It wants me to… [Bridge: Madeleine Hyland & Joey Batey] And these plates they smash like waves (Place your hand in mine) And on the wind it howls (How long can this last?) But that second wind is coming, love, it's coming for all we own And on the creature scratches, it doesn't know how to get out (Let me out) And you, you follow philosophies But me, I laugh I choke "Well hello, my hollow Holofernes" I wink but you don't get the joke "Hold the hand of the god-child," they said "As he falls from the sky" "Be good to me," I beg of him "Be good to me," I beg of him Be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good And he replies ("No no, not I")

[Intro: Joey Batey] Awake, awake, you children bold Take hold of all your books and fold The corners, they warned us A storm is coming on What do you mean you've lost Your scarlet welly boots, do y'know what they cost? Wear a raincoat or it'll soak you to the bone [Verse 1: Joey Batey] What's it like, the children ask? It’s just like falling snow, I am above you And I love you, don't you know That I'll be with you all along, as long as you are kind To those who are not strong and cannot find their scarlet welly boots [Chorus: Joey Batey] 'Cause when it's cold I'll wrap my scarf around you And when it's hard I'll place your head into my hands And when you scream that it's not fair It's like I've gone off to the coast Left you behind just standing there Pretending not to see your ghost If only you could hear my voice But you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear Just because I left doesn't mean that I'm not still there [Verse 2: Joey Batey] I get to watch you grow up now And make me proud, make all of those mistakes that make me laugh Oh darling lord, how you make me laugh Get drunk for me, sing louder than you've sung for me Grow young each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world 'Cause you were always strong When you were young, you'd kick things just to see if they would fall They said "That girl, she's wrong" But I'll stick up for you, even though you haven't got a clue, you haven't got a fucking clue [Chorus: Joey Batey] And I'm so proud of you And when they laugh at us You'll feel my fingers down your back And when you scream "I'm not alright" And throw my picture at the wall "You were supposed to be my light And keep me safe against them all How could you leave me here?" you'll scream And louder, I'll scream back to you from that unknown And say "I know you're strong enough I know you're strong enough I know you're strong enough to do this on your" [Bridge: Joey Batey & Madeleine Hyland] I know you're strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your own (I know you're strong enough to) I know you're strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your own (I know you're strong enough to) I know you're strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your(I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your own (I know you're strong enough to) I know you're strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your (I know you're strong enough to) Strong enough to do this on your own (I know you're strong enough to) [Outro: Joey Batey] And years from now at night that storm Will break, you'll step outside to feel it shake And barefoot walk across the lawn You'll miss me, oh Jesus Christ, you'll miss me Just as much as all those years ago, and you'll look up at the storm You'll say "I've been so scared You left me here behind, do you not care? How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?" Just when you're about to give up every hope you have, you turn around Perched by the stairs, someone's gone and left behind A brand new pair of scarlet welly boots

[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland] I will bring you ruin In everything I do It's never my intention but it happens all the same It starts with love and comfort Becomes a strength of will But all that strength made rubble of those towers we built [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland] Because brick by brick you built us And I'd fill in the cracks Nothing quite prepares you for When they don't come back I wish I'd done things different I wish that I'd been brave I wish I'd known these stones were something I could save [Verse 2: Both, Joey Batey] Our mortar was your laughter And you hurled curses at the land Wе didn't talk. We made universеs Out of bitten lips and broken hands And you said "I love you" less Than when it all began And I said fewer 'Cause I make jokes to show how broken I really am [Pre-Chorus: Both, Madeleine Hyland] In the wreck of all we burnt Stands our piano like a wound I play our song To see if it's in tune (I'll sing silence) But you, you sit next to me And your finger brushes mine And I promise to be patient And you promise to be, promise to be kind [Chorus: Both] 'Cause brick by brick you built us Of the earth, the silt and ground We can rest, you say, in the pieces Of what's left, or of what what we've found I wish I'd done things different Oh I wish I'd made it right But we'll burn a hundred theatres If it means we get the wallpaper right [Outro: Both] I'll brick by brick rebuild us Out of hows and whys, not whens Nothing quite prepared me for When that piano sang again Tomorrow I'll do things different Tomorrow I'll be brave Tomorrow I'll be brave Tomorrow I'll be brave You'll make me brave

[Intro: Joey Batey] There's a fire burning And I'm learning to be So much more than my tiredness So much more than that old witch sleep wishes She kisses my eyelids And I breathe "You don't have to be brilliant" She says as she scrolls Through the roles that the millions Of hollering hollow folk know how to play It's okay They're just shadows searching for light They can't stay [Verse 1: Joey Batey] "Sleep now", oh, she says "Tomorrow's jokes have yet to be laughed at or said Just rest now", she moans Then the hollow folk come Pour me wine by my bed And their dead hollers hum at the things that I've said And say no, no, no, no [Chorus: Joey Batey] 'Cause you are in the earth of me You are in the earth of me My head's not yours, it's mine 'Cause you are in the earth of me [Verse 2: Joey Batey] Somehow now I'm drinking And I'm lifting my glass To that last good man grace Who has left me, he's left me at last And I laugh, and I laugh 'Cause laughing right now, it's all, it's all that I have [Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey] "You're better than this" He says as a hand slaps my face and I stand And say no good man grace I can't do this (You can) I can't do this (You can) I can't do this (You can) I can't do this you don't understand [Verse 3: Joey Batey] "Oh sleep now", oh, she pleads You're not a coward 'cause you cower You're brave because they broke you Yet broken still you breathe So breathe, breathe just breathe [Pre-Chorus: Joey Batey] Then the hollow folk pour me Another shard full of glass And I toast to their talents And I forgive them at last 'Cause I know, oh I know, I know [Chorus: Joey Batey] That you are in the earth of me You are in the earth of me My head's not yours, it's mine And I'll take my fucking time 'Cause I know, I know, I know Let's bury this [Bridge: Joey Batey] I'm all yours But you're all mine Let's dance together You and I 'Cause I'm not trapped With you, you see You're the one who's Trapped with me 'Cause I've been here so many times before Don't you think I look pretty Curled up on this bathroom floor But where you see weakness I see wit Sometimes I fall to pieces Just to see what bits of me don't fit 'Cause when I stand, oh all those folks will run And tell the tales of what I've become They'll speak of me in whispered tones And say my name like it shakes their bones 'Cause we'll dance together so close we're sharing breath But now I'm leading, doesn't that just scare you to death 'Cause I'm all yours You're all mine Let's dance together You and I 'Cause I'm not trapped oh With you you see You're the one who's Trapped with me oh oh Oh Oh-oh [Chorus: Joey Batey] 'Cause you are in the earth of me You are in the earth of me My head's not yours, it's mine And I'll take my fucking time 'Cause I know, I know, I know

The squeaky guitar kinda hurts my ears. The lyrics kinda hurt my heart...

I love the dual meaning of, “I don’t find this easy like you.” How it goes from an expression of loneliness and frustration to one of solidarity and companionship.

From the different colorations for everyone's parts and even the placement of the lyrics themselves, you are my absolute favorite person for lyrics videos for The Amazing Devil songs. I really really hope that whenever they release a new album you'll lyric those as well. 🫂❤

This song is literally so cool

Can you listen to these two without tears?

3:38 / 5:36 -3:39 / 5:36 this is my favorite part

Truly the greatest bard on the whole continent

"'Cause if god made us in his image, then God's a fucking nerd"😂😂

Oh what, these? These aren't tears It's just the rain that wasn't brave enough to fall And what they hear isn't laughter after all It's just your voice learning for once to stand up tall [Chorus: Both and Joey Batey] And when the rain came down I made a vow out to the dark Please let her live just one more day 'Cause she is so much more than all her scars And if she doesn't have the will But it seems the whole world does I'll stay because I will be the man my father never was [Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland] And what you hear is not silence It's just the trees waiting to hear what next you'll hum And what you see is not the dark It’s just the gods upturning inkpots 'Cause they know what you'll become [Chorus: Madeleine Hyland and Both] And to those gods I will speak bluntly We've an accord If you ever touch or harm him Please rest assured That you might not fear a man But to a woman by the end you'll kneel and plead 'Cause I'm more than what my mum told me to be And I can hear her sing And I know she's giving up And I don't know what to do, how to help her How to bring her home And I can hear him break And he doesn't understand And I wish that I could take his hand But where I'm going is for me and me alone And I can hear her sing [Outro: Both] If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along (Loved you all along) If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along

In the back of a cab like a puppet with no strings Untangling my headphones 'Cause sometimes they're the only thing That keeps my head in place Keeps my head in place Arriving at the door, I hope to God I'm not the first My heart is tearing pages From that funny story I rehearsed And I know I won't be long 'Cause I know I don't belong 'Cause though my jokes are my armour And my kindness is my sword The party swirls around me in a dress I can't afford And I do my best to breathe But they're stealing all the air And the hum from the fridge'll Sing me soft little vigils As all my steps too far keep telling me "This is who you are", I should go home I'm not lonely, just like being on my own And I'll sing silence And ask my glass of wine for guidance I might not make it tonight And I'll speak with my eyes You'll think I'm weird, one sympathizes I might not make it tonight Because I don't find this easy like you Gonna go home and show my cat some memes 'Cause he's awesome like me Like me Now I'm lying on a bed full of coats Trying desperately to cope When you open up the door, say something stupid like "You're lying on some coats", I say, I know Just sometimes nice to feel what it's like To be in someone else's coat Now we're bursting at the seams 'Cause the noise is crushing us We think it's so much worse than it seems But that voice unsaid is rushing us And in a moment of total rapture With every strength I have I ask if you play D&D And your face lights up like you've woken up From this endless fucking nightmare Of pretending this is you This is us, this is me and this how we're meant to be But your smile tells me I'm safe And that voice unspoken's heard 'Cause if God make us all in his image Then God's a fucking nerd And I'll sing silence And ask my glass of wine for guidance I might not make it tonight And I'll speak with my eyes You think I'm neat, I'm not surprised That I might not make it tonight Because I don't find this easy like you Gonna go home and dress my cat up like Batman 'Cause he's awesome like me And I'll sing silence (and I don't) And ask my glass of wine for guidance (find this) I might not make it tonight (easy, like you) Gonna go home and tell my cat (I'm not lonely) I'm not lonely if I'm (I just like being on my own) With you In the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings We share a pair of headphones 'Cause sometimes they're the only thing That keep our heads in place Keep our heads in place I totally messed it up again Did you? Like three times, three, three separate places For fuck's sake

Hopping fences we ran, sipping swigs of our cans Can you pass me the lighter, mate? Give me your fire Filming shit on that camera you nicked (it's my dad's) We can both barely stand Over hedges, we'd headlong (we hear) And on ledges, we'd land (our legends) From every height I'd fall, I'd call (we hear them, they call) I'd reach out for your hand, you sing If I have to be who I was (you're not) Do I have to be who I am? Didn't the trees tell us their stories? Yeah, but we, we called them all liars And they said, "Come down now" But we climbed so High, high into the night I look at those secret worlds you call eyes And wonder if we might There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh, shining in your light You were a king and his castle, I was every dirty rascal If you asked me for my lighter mate, I gave you my fire I'd call as you climbed And I'd catch you every time you fell 'Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune And I'll withstand what's written for the writer in you Write me well, my love, write me weird Write me willing, write me well Didn't the trees tell us their stories? Yeah, but we, we thought you were mental You were talking to trees And they said, "Come down now" But we climbed so High, high into the night I look at those secret worlds you call eyes And wonder if we might There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh, high And on that tree, I'll carve your name 'Cause in years to come, we both know we won't be the same You asked me to climb, I never learned But if you ask me for my fire Just watch me, just watch me Just watch me burn Just watch me burn, oh-oh There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our) Windows, oh 'Cause we climbed so high We climbed so high, oh There's something changed (there's something weaved) The leaves like broken shards of stained glass (into our hearts, into our) Windows, oh, shining, shining

This could be an anime opening for some folk/forest-based tv show.

I love this song, it describes perfectly how I feel when going to any friends gathering, and the cat part was so accurate.

4:23 Actually... My sister's cat looks like Batman 😆

The weight of my phone Like a tablet of stone Seems to grow with the words I just read And it silently falls From my hand to the floor With the wonders I wished I had said And for a time there is timelessness Endless furore To the dark I said pour and forgot to say when And the words that you wrote Come back blacker than smoke I’m so sorry, I’ve done it again So I gather up the candlelight Jangle the chimes And mop up what is left of my lungs And I climb up the ladder Had I taken more care I might have seen all the rot in the rungs And I pack what is needed For the journey to come All my books, all my bracken and booze And the door shuts behind me And I breathe in the air And say yeah, well I’m sorry too And I stare at the soldiers before me All my blossoms that have waited to fall And I walk And I walk And I walk And I walk Knowing every last one of them is painted in light As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right My dress is on fire And I hurl myself, I heal myself I drag myself like a rug in the rain And my saint she is dancing As every step I choose to take Begins to set the world aflame And the soldiers march behind me I can hear them beat their spears And for the first time in all my life I know I’m more than what I fear And I stare At the soldiers before me All my blossoms that have waited to rise And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (with you) And I walk And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (with you) And I walk And I run (love run) And I run (love run) And I scream out to the sky (Love run, love run) You do not get to hurt me just because I asked you once If you were alright And I look at the phone On the floor and I drink That nice wine you were saving, it's saving me now love And my soldiers sit by Like I’m newly baptised In the blossoms that fell from above And I pick up the phone Dial your number and wait And shine like my petals once shone And just as it’s ringing I whisper aloud To my saint Oh we, we’re gonna get on

Dude, your awesome for make lyric videos

This song makes me SOB every time I hear it

Thanks to you I'll finally learn to sing this song with my friend! Amazing video 🥰

I wish I could go back to the first time I heard this song and didn’t know what the last line would be. It hit me so hard when I heard that soft, melancholy voice say “someone’s gone and left behind… a brand new pair of scarlet welly boots” that first time, I literally cried.

Im gonna go show my cat some memes cos hes awesome😭😭 Istfg the whole song is just so accurate it describes me perfectly. They stalkin me💀💀💀💀💀😭

✋❤👆♾⏰

This song gives me tingles.

I fucking love this song sm

I'm pretty sure that in heaven, this is what angels will sound like 💚

Damn...living a complicated moment with my boyfriend, who's either working or gaming on his computer/mobile telephone/whatever, while I wait for the dialogue to begin again, for his eyes to meet mine for more that the few seconds between the end of the game and the start of the video he'll binge watch while waiting for new players...and these songs are both rubbing salt in the wounds and healing me...I don't know how long will I endure this...but now I want to keep trying... maybe, behind all of him being used to me and too tired to even acknowledge me here, he's still here... Thanks...I'm ranting, I know, but it's easier to rant behind a screen, knowing that no people I know in real life will read this...

literally listened to this on loop for like 5 hours yesterday

Feel it is like a love letter to all of the single mothers out there.

Lyrics start at 0:59

Thank you for this 🌸❤️🔒🗝️🔓💖🌺

“We thought you were mental, you were talking to trees” I’m dying of laughter on the floor
