dance me to the end of love.

forget my name

Run Away With Me

Dancin' In The Dark

oh, my wild and orphan thing
let the water rush in and fill the streets
let it rise above us, above the breech
reflecting on a heaven out of reach

let the dams break
let the water wash away
oh, everything in its wake
oh, everything that we’ve made
it can’t support the weight
of our grief
it comes in waves
just like the way
our hearts began to sink.

and all my storms and my swells
can’t help you now
they can’t bring you back.

oh, my wild, unanchored thing
the water brought you in and took you from me
i watched your breath rise
like the tides
and then so gently subsides

let the dams break
let the water wash away
oh, everything in its wake
oh, everything that we’ve made
it can’t support the weight
of our grief
it comes in waves
just like the way
our hearts began to sink.

and all my storms and my swells
can’t help you now
they can’t bring you back.

oh, the floods.

sad girl songs.
