lyrics

I walk to work in a brisk cold and in the sky a lonely cloud stretching its smile across the horizon can trick my mind that it is an island and I will dive into the biggest ocean I've seen in my life

Don't send for help I'll tread the breeze and as it retreats all of the words that you've said will break free and scatter like the leaves from the trees and I will drive into the most beautiful sunrise I've seen in my whole life

I'll melt away in an autumn heat and evaporate into the air so that when you breathe it can fill up your lungs with a melody to sing soft and slowly and I will glide into the sweetest lullaby I've heard in life

and I will slide away into the dark for a while or just until I got it figured out
and I will slide away into the dark for a while or just until I gotta figure out
My whole life
