silver second

(album: thank you wisdom angel i love you - 2022)

Mitten in the snow
Angels in a row
My turn to place them
On the piano
Sweating through our coats
Blushing on the nose
We didn't know it
There in that moment

That everyone's together in that moment of your life
Frozen in a snow globe, spin so slowly like you're stuck in time, ah-ah, ah
When everyone's together in that moment of your life
All the tiny changes, pile up until you're snowed inside

You know I get cold
Moved away from home
Ran from the winter
I'm still your sister
Getting on the plane
Showing signs of age
Creased where we've smiled
I'm still your child

And everyone's together for a moment just today
Hold yourself together for a bit, before it slips away, ah-ah, ah, ah
When everyone's together for a moment just today
Let each silver second settle on your tongue and melt away, ayy, ayy, ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ring around the year
End up right back here
