Lyrics
Frozen fractals on the floor
Icing over
I've been tracing out your footprints
In this bitter winter storm
I watched my breath go up in smoke
Daybreak dawned it's winter coat
A glint of sun to keep you warm
I know that I turned my back on you
I didn't understand what I put you through
Let me make it up to you
Sat silently as the frostbite took its toll
I'm the one that left you out
I'll be the one who drags you home
Led you by the fire
Your lips turned purple from the cold
So it's the last time that I'll leave you on your own
You're not alone
And I knew you had it hard
Had my head wrapped up in college friends and 40s
While you were sleeping in your car
I said I loved you like a brother
But I sure as hell've been absent like your father
And when you needed me I looked out from afar
And I know I can't turn back the clock
But in the end you're all I've got
And I'm not leaving here alone
Sat silently as the frostbite took its toll
I'm the one that left you out
I'll be the one who drags you home
Led you by the fire
Your lips turned purple from the cold
I swore that I would keep you warm
But I left you all alone
I didn't give you a reason to stay
So let me make it up to you
Let me make it up to you
Let me make it up to you
I'll trace your your tracks while you're on the run
Reckless and broken, I left you out in the open
I left you all alone
If I'm the Moon then you were the Sun
You still shine on all of us
So let me light your path to bring you home
While you shine on the whole world
I'm cutting the floorboards, just cutting the floorboards
But I'm starting to push through
So let me make it up to you
Let me make it up to you
I'll never make it up to you
