We could start a fire
As we pray
For the flames to go higher
In the rain

We could carve our initials
On display
But even skin crumples
And even trees age

Oh we shoulda known
Oh that we’re both alone
We could melt the ice in the summertime
And it’ll take a while till we realize
Everything illuminates tentatively
Everything evaporates eventually

That’s not to say it’s not worth it
To make a scene
Take love and return it
Like they do on silver screens

You can keep the footage
You can keep the change
Cause’ the years will come
And our tears will rearrange

Oh we shoulda known
Oh that we’re both alone
We could melt the ice in the summertime
And it’ll take a while till we realize
Everything illuminates tentatively
Everything evaporates eventually

What good would it do
To take me with you?
What good would it do
To hold onto you?
