lyrics

i was eighteen when i cut the brake lines
from the back of my heel to swim and fly.
i was barely twenty when i realized
pictured myself in fields, pictured you by my side
while the current swore to the windy sky,
don't be afraid - everyone will be fine
on that day i saw those tears in your eyes,
just let em fall. they are so bright.

and one day, i'll cry. i will cry

at all the beauty making a nest in the aftermath of our caved in chests
with our warm hands tangled, salty dust
the kelp and dust - what we become

and one day, i'll cry. i will cry at all the beauty i've seen in this life.
yeah one day, i'll cry. i won't lie.

i was eighteen when i cut the brake lines
from the back of my heels to swim and fly
i was barely twenty when i realized
wanted to live in fields, pictured you by my side

and one day i'll cry, i will cry at all the beauty there's left in this life
yeah one day, i'll cry. i won't lie.

(there's so much beauty left in this life.)
