lyrics

I’ve been struggling hard to try
To separate stars from satellites
Seems I work so hard with nothing to show
Except the weight in my chest that I’ve always known

Nothing ventured so nothing gained
Nothing bled from a stone for the offering
And I struggle to figure out where I have grown
Except that weight in my chest that I’ve always known

So hold me close my dear
For I fear that I’ll slip through the atmosphere
So tie me down in place
I’m afraid that I’ll stumble towards outer space

That summer sun piercing through the air
At least I’ve heard that it’s nice this time of year
See I wouldn’t know since I’m made of stone
With a hole in my heart where that bird has flown
With that weight in my chest that I’ve always known

So hold me close my love
For I fear that I’m floating back up above
So hold me close my dear
For I fear that I’ll float through the atmosphere
For I fear that I’ll float through the atmosphere
