Lyrics
it's been a big year
I hope the next one can be smaller
and maybe we won't falter in the promises we made
and the hurts our hearts forgave
I've been laughing back tears
but I can't hold em off forever
after all this stormy weather I'll be drying out for years
in these empty spaces where you've gone
like the line your finger traces in the fog
on the window of the car
you wrote I love you but I have to go
these things ain't up to us you know
here I'd crawled out of my own skin
I was hoping that you'd let me in
for God's sake, let me in
it's been a big year
and it's one she won't remember
oh the sweetness of surrender
that on either side of life
lies the darkness of the mind
with all the innocence of children
and all the careless wrath of war
it's something bigger that we're building
and we may never ever know what for
in these empty spaces where you've gone
like the line your finger traces in the fog
on the window of the car
you wrote I love you but I have to go
these things ain't up to us you know
here I'd finally knocked an old brick loose
I was hoping for a glimpse of you
but this crumbling wall is all I ever knew
this crumbling wall is all I ever knew
you wrote I love you but I have to go
these things ain't up to us you know
here I'd crawled out of my own skin I was hoping that you'd let me in
for God's sake
let me in
