Summer Ash

(album: Souvenir - 2014)

The sky across this dead town bled into the west left one dim light
We're shadows on the sidewalk
We float along the cracks most of the time

Crash down on the streets that I lead to nowhere
There are days I do and days I don't care
That our story's set in dark gray
We always let the truth get in our way
But we could write another where this couldn't keep us under anymore

City blocks dissolve away
We slip between the bars
I don't plan too far ahead
So I'm not sure where we are
Far way where it's air and not the poison that we breathe
Iron and rust disappear and miles of concrete turn to sea

Crash down on streets that lead to nowhere
Cast off and drift away until there's nothing of ourselves here anymore
They're just some characters we were before

So turn down all the dark days
Kill this night
New page, all the blue skies we could write
Walking home through the catacombs
We almost got there
We almost got there

We come alive in Chapter Two
You and me without these scars
Where I'm stronger than I am
Where you're braver than you are
Where it's sun, not the coats and all the drinks that keep us warm
But tonight it's you and me against the backdrop we were born

Crash down on streets that lead to nowhere
Cast off and drift away until there's nothing of ourselves here anymore
They're just some characters we were before

So turn down all the dark days
Kill this night
New page, all the blue skies we could write
Walking home through the catacombs
We almost got there
We almost got there

If all we are we are tonight
And there are some things you can't rewrite
And I'm still reaching for a dream that broke away
And our tomorrows end up more like yesterdays

Then hold on, then hold on to me
Just hold on, just hold on to me
Cause I rely on you, you know
Cause I rely on you, you know
Cause I rely on you, you know
Cause I rely on you, you know

I can't remember how we got here
I can't remember there have been all these twists and bends
I'm not believing this is it now
I'm not believing this is where our story ends
