Frozen snow cracks beneath my feet
And I feel every wrong I ever inflicted
Sweet scented smoke fills my lungs
And all I taste is what you could've meant to me
If not for growing up, or moving on
Or oceans I can't cross
I'll take to pen and paper
Stroke these metal strings
To express my hopes, my dreams, my loss
I wish I had an affinity for photographs
Or how they look in black and white, stuck to my wall
A fictional storyboard of memories and happy times
Might pull me out of drowning pools in my head
And I am waking up, I'm changing
I am constantly in flux
One moment happy to be me
The next just praying to be us
And the pavement underneath me shines
Like glitter on the page of homemade Christmas cards
From much loved friends
Your star begins to rise
Well, rise up to the surface
But don't climb up too high
Cause I like you fallen
Frozen snow has turned to ice
It catches me off guard, and I am slipping
Past darkened windows, and empty cars
With just my shadow for company
And I will bask in my redundancy
As the lyrics write themselves
Then my fingers pick a tune from this guitar
I am blinded by the streetlights
Like a deer on country lanes
And I am falling
I'm falling
