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]
