Maryland

(album: Everyone I've Ever Loved - 2018)

Let the stars come down from their heavenly homes
From light years away, and come and let them break
Our narrow worlds, our geometric shapes
Do you ever feel so small
When you think about the universe and all?
How we try and hold it, these moments
Like sand in our hand, it slips away

Running through the fields of that farm in Maryland
I find all my friends, buried in the dirt dead
And in some dread, I awake
But it serves to remind me that all is bound to fade one day
All is bound to fade one day

And it gets me every time, oh the frailty of life
And I'm trying to make sense of this new-found way
When it's all still bound to fade one day

Let the stars come down (All is bound to fade one day)
Let the stars come down (All is bound to fade one day)
Let the stars come down, all is bound to fade
