They question the king upon leaving

Said: open your eyes when you see

With her, all the singing came easy

All go, cut the sun in the evening

But the birds have stopped singing this season

Alright alright definite scheming

I've never been good at this really

I've started to see the birds need a reason to sing

I'll be making my way

Walk tall and don't go, we're lonely

Curse of us sinning and healing

I do all of this hoping she'll see me

I envy the sea, have you seething

The water and all of it breathing

Sacred the secrets I'm keeping

How we danced under circular ceilings

All the embraces we've been in

Bring back one last time

For the summers we saw, second guessing and all

You were all on my mind

I'd love if you call, I'd love if you call

Now I couldn't tell

But she's keeping me well

All of my secrets releasing is pieces of me alone

Honestly destined to fail

But you were all on my mind

'Til we made what we are

Till we kissed in the car

Now I couldn't

All in, fall in

Vulnerable as hell

Not stalling, crawl in

Girl, you knew me well

I like how the forest is leaning

Bring back one last time

For the summers we saw, second-guessing and all

You were all on my mind

I'd love if you call, I'd love if you call

Now I couldn't tell

But she's keeping me well

All of my secrets releasing is pieces of me alone

Honestly destined to fail

But you were all on my mind

'Til we made what we are

'Til we kissed in the car

Now I couldn't
