Never more in love than when I'm leaving
Never want you more than when you're gone
Never miss the wind that keeps me breathing
Till it leaves my lungs gasping for its song

You warmed the earth inside me with your bare hands
You took me by the heart and slowed its beat
The dirt within me turned and became muddy
With your digging and your constant burning heat

You came swiftly as a snowstorm in October
Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet
And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over
It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet

I never feel more found than when I'm wandering
I never feel more still than when I'm free
But to hear that quiet voice, I'd give up everything
To follow the soft sighing of the sea

You came swiftly as a snowstorm in October
Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet
And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over
It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet
