Album: Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance (2015)

The Book Of You

Everybody's making plans
For tomorrow
Stone can turn to sand
But I just
I want to take you back in time
I'll draw the line
I would write a different story
A new final act
I don't need the drama
But I would never write you out

Everyone's a thread
We're woven together
Read it in the tears and fraying edges
Read the book of you
The book of me
We're fading into memory
But something is left
A gesture, a phrase or a photograph
The warp and weft

We're always walking in the rain
And you're just trouble, so I claim
Pretend the world can see
That I'm the one for you
And you're the one for me

Valentine, if you could change
With the weather
Faith would just evaporate
Untethered
In a fresh disguise
I catch your eye
See behind the mask
And find you never went far
That's not the last time
I've thought about the way we are

We're always walking in the rain
And you're just trouble, so I claim
But then the world can see
That I'm the one for you
And you're the one for me
