Saltwater falling on uneven ground

lyrics

I'm all hollowed out
just making up the numbers
signals breaking up
I am out of luck
can't keep it all together anymore.

The sky made brilliant by the falling stars,
the stars like rainfall to ground.
The ground is frozen underneath my feet
the ground is frozen underneath me
and it's uneven ground
and every girl's footfalls sound like yours.
The last moment of departure,
the road home.
The sky made brilliant by the falling stars,
the stars like rainfall to ground.
The ground is frozen underneath my feet
the ground is frozen underneath me.

Winter is coming
the leaves have all fallen to the ground.
Out on the skyline I hope that this finds you
safe and sound.
Do you remember those summers?
Days without end
exploding into fire.
The days without end
could be here again,
extraordinary again.
Not why I came
but you were the answer unspoken.
Not my real meaning
but you were the lifeline broken.
Do you remember those summers?
Days without end
exploding into fire.
The days without end
could be here again,
extraordinary again.
