lyrics

all this tired sentiment lost on the page
all I'd wanted to tell you
all I'd wanted to say
swallowed in blankness
no word from my tongue
as we get older
we still sing the same songs
caustically human
but my father's son
if you kick the pedestal
I'll come undone

I came home to rest in your arms
God knows how I carried on here without you, my love

the off-white of winter
the feeling of home
could I drift into slumber?
could you knock me out cold?
days we devoured
the melting of our hands
through the frosts of September
the faintest of embers we two cradled naively
but traded a prayer for the truth
now you'll never know me
but I'll always love you

so come home and rest in my arms
God knows how I'll carry on here without you, my love
