lyrics

I hope you never have to choose
Being loved or being happy
If I could be either again
I hope my friends don’t all forget me
I’m so scared of being in and not of
Am I all that hard to love

I hope you never have to choose
Being home or being free
If I could be either again
I’d hope no one remembers me
I’m so sick of being told the costs
Surely not all things stay lost

I feel the wind pick up
Fire falls and the earth gets torn
I didn’t find you in the storm

I hope that when the trumpet sounds
They just skip my place in the harvest
Leave me in the wet ground
Let me roam the earth in the darkness
I’ll dig a home out beneath the cliff
This isn’t how I pictured it

I feel the wind pick up
Fire falls and the earth gets torn
I didn’t find you in the storm

So if you sing,
make sure you get the words right
and a war
Ain’t the same thing as a good fight
Never leave a place
The same way I found it
You can bet your ass
I’m still bitter about it

I feel the wind pick up
Think I’ve had enough, then
Fire falls and the earth gets torn
I didn’t find you in the storm
Or anywhere I thought I needed you.
I didn’t find you.
