lyrics

Ever since the accident
I don’t know how to use my hands I
Have trouble opening bottle caps

I listen to the creaky ceiling
Trying to regain the feeling
Absent in my fingertips

The pines still tower quietly
I wish I had the strength of trees,
Of growing at a slower pace

But the forest fires are burning near
Just like when I was 23 and
You were the first boy I met on Mars
The ashes falling on our city
You know it doesn’t matter honey
What we were supposed to be
It’s still just you and me
Against the dusty sea

We were standing in the valley
Wondering if we could bring these
Dry bones back to life again

You were looking at me funny
“I know we don’t have much money”
You said, “but I’d like to make a home with you”

Watch as we grow
Flesh from bone
Something from
Nothing at all

The forest fires are burning near
Just like when I was 23 and
You were the first boy I met on Mars
The ashes falling on our city
You know it doesn’t matter honey
What we were supposed to be
It’s still just you and me
Against the dusty sea
