Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dance in gold
Stories left untold
Found your plastic tape
In a cardboard shape
Handwritten ink has faded blue
Everything reminds me of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Static hums a familiar tune
Underneath a paper moon
We were giants in the yard
Holding every lucky card
[Chorus]
We grew into different trees
Carried by a different breeze
But the roots are tangled deep
In the secrets that we keep
It’s a bittersweet design
Your path moving away from mine
[Verse]
Found your letter in the stack
Brought the summer rushing back
You’re living by the northern sea
Miles away from who we used to be
Small joys in the way you write
Keeping out the lonely night
[Chorus]
We grew into different trees
Carried by a different breeze
But the roots are tangled deep
In the secrets that we keep
It’s a bittersweet design
Your path moving away from mine
[Bridge]
The guitar strings are old and worn
Like the edges of the life we’ve sworn
To keep protected from the rain
To find the beauty in the pain
We aren't the kids we were before
But I love who you are even more
[Hook]
Spinning slow
Let it go
Watch us grow
High and low
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the attic floor
I don't need to search no more
The tape ends with a clicking sound
Quiet peace is what I found
Different versions of a soul
Making one another whole
[Chorus]
We grew into different trees
Carried by a different breeze
But the roots are tangled deep
In the secrets that we keep
It’s a bittersweet design
Your path moving away from mine
[Post-Chorus]
Moving away from mine
Looking back is just fine
In the sun-dappled light
Everything is alright
[Outro]
