as you were

(álbum: ley lines - 2019)

Settling on the grass
In your finest of sweaters
It's cheap thrift down
But it fits in your world
Stretched out at the sleeves
Where your nervousness eats it
And your color, well it's worn down too

Will you say of me
I'll only be yours
In a memory
In a distant world
I'll say I knew you when
Your stars were shining
Still I will keep you there

As you were
As you were

There's a book by your side
Reads of courage and conflict
An escape to a time
That you wish wouldn't pass
And a sound in your head
That carries you gently
From the park city locked
To a simpler home

Will you say of me
I'll only be yours
In a memory
In a distant world
I'll say I knew you when
Your stars were shining
Still I will keep you there

As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were

I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied
I'm so sorry
It's like my hands were tied

As you were
As you were
As you were

As you were
As you were
As you were
As you were
