Lyrics

she says “I love you” in the morning
she is tired but she’s true
I was thinking about staying
but I know I’m leaving soon

so I tell her that I love her
and I’ll write her when I land
I put my hand in her hand
and go

out the door there is a taxi
and out the taxi is a plane
look out the window see tomorrow
waving away

I’d been chasing the horizon
to the promise of a land
with nothing but the feeling
of her hand in my hand

hold me through the unraveling
through the darkest hours of the night
and I’ll hold you close as a memory
in the corners of my mind

when I landed feeling stranded
finding everything I planted overgrown
that I’d blame it on somebody
but there’s no one left when you’re alone

just that helpless angry freedom
of time’s overthrow of plans
I make a fist but am stopped
by her hand in my hand
I make a fist but am stopped
by her hand in my hand

now I hold you close as a memory x3
when I make a fist and am stopped
