about

A song about two individuals attempting to push through past hurt and build a beautiful, free life together despite the darkness of the world they live in. Can they do it, or are they simply dreamers? Dedicated to my Mom.

This is in fact one of my earliest songs appearing in my collection. I wrote it in 2012. I consider most of the songs I wrote before and during that year as too immature to fall under scrutiny of the public eye, but my mom told me she loved this one so much that I decided to try it out, and I am glad that I did.

lyrics

Let's gather up these bones,
Let's build a house and dream a home
where all is right, and we can be together!

But when the cold winds blow against our walls; will they stand or fall? (2x)

Nothing, nothing at all can separate
these gathered bones where I am home
If you're standing here with me!

Summer comes, and we go, as the water flows,
drifting away, forgetting old ways (together!)
Summer comes, and we go, as the water flows, drifting away.

Floating down the river, we are breaking away.
People stare and point, but we just go on our way

"Someone is dying! Someone is crying!" people say
But someone's always dying, and someone's always crying everyday.
