lyrics

Ice was swirling like diamonds in the sky
But I didn’t feel a chill when I saw your eyes
And I thought I had a chance to make you stay
Yes I know I am insane, wasn’t even one day

And the pages would turn and the sun would rise
and you would fade in the city lights

It’s fine I know how this will go
You’ll have crossed the sea and I’m stuck in snow
but I’ll look back at that moment and I’ll see
if four hours wasn’t long enough, you’d come back to me

I still look back at the night, thinking I did nothing right
To let your words seep in my mind, creating illusions of a sign

But I can’t lose sleep or shed a tear, when an image of you draws so near

It’s fine I know how this will go
You’ll have crossed the sea and I’m stuck in snow
I’ll look back at that moment and I’ll see
That if four hours wasn’t long enough, you’d come back to me

No I can’t walk down that block
Cuz I’d fall back into the dark
I can’t make that storm appear
Cuz I’d be swept if you came back here

It’s fine I know how this will go
You’ll have crossed the sea and I’m stuck in snow
I’ll look back at that moment and I’ll see
That if four hours wasn’t long enough, you’d come back to me

He continues: “Today, I’m open to showing all the aspects of my life, including my queerness.” ... more
