Above 03:45
All that I thought was holdin' me up I found reversed yeah it was I above Well I stood over it, and over it I was What I have forever been I have finally become All that I thought was holdin' me up I found reversed yeah it was I above Well over it I stood, and over it I was What I have forever been I have finally become

From Afar 02:44
I saw you from afar And I told myself I needn’t look any further When I saw you from afar I knew this distance had no purpose I never I fall easy But when I do I fall hard And it’s not worth believing That I can see who you are But when I saw you from afar It was as if I needn’t look any further When I saw you from afar I knew any turn I’d take would be closer I never I fall easy But I always fall hard What I don’t know won’t hurt me But what’s a heart without harm? But would you be worth it? Could we predict this in time? Or are we destined to be distant Should we not cross the line? 'Cause I've spent all of my life learning to love Is to find without looking And we were being nothing Apart from who we are When I saw you from afar Afar Afar Afar When I saw you from afar

Gravity Fall 02:46
Some say it seems atmospheric Always orbit never nearing Some say it seems atmospheric Undermining movement’s merit But with you I will freely fall With you Infinities feel small And our love Leaves no room for stars As we constellate our hearts We were merely atmospheric Fighting orbit, force, and fission We were merely atmospheric Outlasting light years, lords, and limits With you Fate never feels too far I’m with you Here or worlds apart As our love Eclipses all Yeah our love Will see gravity fall

On Words 05:25
It’s funny how a picture takes you back And confronts you with a feeling Like an ancient artifact You find glued to your ceiling And it all comes back in a flash And it all comes back in a flash And it all comes back in a flash I believe again, I am me again I’m with you again, how did this ever end? We are young again, things are new My heart beats again, I’m with you, I’m with you I began to nod and tried to smile The day I let you go I close my eyes and recall how I Held my breath, and never let you know Hold your breath, you never know It’s funny how your picture takes me back As it falls out of my wallet What we had it was hard Time is fast, distance is far I clenched my fist and I bit my tongue To fight back the hell inside It’s a heavy, heavy feeling when there’s nothing left But heavier to know that it’s right Then it all comes back in a flash And it all comes back in a flash Yeah it all comes back in a flash I believe again, I am me again I’m with you again, how did this ever end? We are young again, things are new My heart beats again, I’m with you, I’m with you I don’t want to die choking on words I want to say them, mean it, feel them hurt I want to live to know what they’re worth, And I want to be worth it I don’t want to want life back

In the beginning you were waiting for forever Cause that’s what love is in his words and in his letters You find the time You find the time Yeah I’m back in the beginning unsure I ever started With the pieces of my heart each playing their part in Trying to rewind to when I had the time I had the time I had the time I don’t know what I’m trying to prove by improving Don’t know where I’m trying to get to but I’m moving Yeah I’ve found in my prayers lay my prisons I don’t know what love is, only that we’re in it You were looking for the lights on the tracks Of the upcoming train, for the echoes of his laugh While I stood still, then took a couple steps back To let myself be followed by the darkness and the facts Cause you were an artist when his hands were in your hair And I danced daftly with the demons daring me not to care But I’ve found in our prisons lay our prayers And I was praying to be there for you I keep letting my heart make my heads decisions Keep closing my eyes hoping for precision Wondering why with these lids lay these visions I don’t know what love is, only that we’re in it We don’t know what it is we’re keeping it for The weight of the memories, the wanting to be sure (When) we can’t say what it is, only when it’s missing We don’t know what love is, only that we’re in it (And) this is how her forever ended With a shrugging of her shoulders and a longing to pretend it wasn’t In her head, in her head In her head, in her head In her head, in her head In her head, in her head In her head In her head

How lucky I am to have something that makes leaving so hard Proving distance is a concept measured by memories rather than cars Cause when you remember the moments it’s about how close it feels, not how far Ive seen places Ive seen people, Ive seen streets and Ive seen steeples Ive seen nothing that I’m willing to call my own 'Cause it’s not always where you’re from But where you become yourself That you call home How lucky I am to have something that makes leaving so hard Proving distance is a concept measured by memories rather than cars Cause when you remember the moments it’s about how close it feels, not how far So we’ve emptied our drawers for the last time We’re locking our doors and leaving keys behind But I can’t pack the imagery in a plastic frame I can’t find the words for how I’m feeling, but I feel that’s a good thing How lucky I am to have something that makes leaving so hard Proving distance is a concept measured by memories rather than cars Cause when you remember the moments it’s about how close it feels, not how far Yeah when you remember the moments it’s about how close it feels no matter where you are Cause it’s not always where we go But where we become ourselves That we call home We call home, call home, call home Call home, call home, call home Call home, call home, call home
