Still Some Big Deal

(album: But For All These Shrinking Hearts - 2015)

Calculate the beat of your heart, and times it by
The time you've spent staring into the dark
We look out over lives we don't own
And wait for our hearts to fill
Like kids at window sills

And we could feel the weather coming in
But you like to sleep with your windows wide to the wind
But all the lengths that I would go to
I'd offer myself up to the elements
To be close to the calm in you
Oh

But you, you've been the calm when I've been the storm
And you've been the storm and I've weathered you well
We've weathered it all

And you, you've seen this through to the point of collapse
And I've seen you carry this weight on your back
But I could still be an atlas for you
And that's still some big deal
Don't you think so?

We could smell the rain upon the air
Coming for the heat like an animal
With cold teeth to bare
But all the lengths that I would go to
I'd offer myself up to the elements
To be caught in the storm with you
Oh

But you, you've been the calm when I've been the storm
And you've been the storm and I've weathered you well
We've weathered it all

And you, you've seen this through to the point of collapse
And I've seen you carry this weight on your back
But I could still be an atlas for you
And that's still some big deal
Don't you think so?

But see how far we've flown through
And out this old window and into something far more
Than I could have conjured
An atlas I'll be for you
I come for to carry you

'Cause you, you've been the calm and I've been the storm
And you've been the calm when I've been the storm
And you've been the calm and I've been the storm
And you've been the storm and I've weathered you well
We've weathered it all

And you, you've seen this through to the point of collapse
And I've seen you carry this weight on your back
But I could still be an atlas for you
And that's still some big deal
Don't you think so?
