lyrics

Guess there were some embers left in those cool ashes you stirred;
so I cradled that new feeling like an injured baby bird.
Took the book you lent me as our nightly parting word;
you know I love to meditate on death
just shortly before losing consciousness.

Mixtape you made me back when we were childhood friends:
played it backwards, forwards, till it came out mangled strands.
Dunno when Annah began, but you know where she ends.
You choked the system with that tangled mess.
A pattern's what you use to make a dress.

That fledgling feeling's growing strong;
so if you've begun to change my mind, carry on.
It's not quite ready to fly. I'm not quite ready to fall.
That's all right, it's feather light. It isn't heavy at all.
