[AUDIO ONLY] Lyrics:
Because the rest of my life
is flying by yours
the lives of our bodies
Shade through the doors
because you walk by me
and I walk by you
everyone we’ve ever loved is walking by too
because the air around you moves like light
I gather the four walls and fall with the night
Because the hours were ours time carries the part
our quiet wildness is the beat of our heart
