lyrics

Just the sound, of my boots in the snow,
As they crunch through the layers of ice on the road,
Just one step, then the next, I keep following footprints that haven’t been left.

But I know, that this snow is the moon,
And each step on its surface is completely new,
So just give me a hint,
Tell me what’s on your mind,
Or i’m stuck in this lunar eclipse i designed,
I wanted to talk, but you told me to leave,
And now that time’s mine I can find time to breathe,
Just breathe,
Just breathe,

I can hear, the flakes pass by my ears,
Recalling the words that get fainter each year,
Just “hello”, or a “how was your day” the phrases we spoke just keep drifting away.

But I know, that this snow is the moon,
And each step on its surface is completely new,
So just give me a hint,
Tell me what’s on your mind,
Or i’m stuck in this lunar eclipse i designed,
I wanted to talk, but you told me to leave,
And now that time’s mine I can find time to breathe,
Just breathe,
Just breathe,

There’s a note, a page passed through the door,
That explains your delay, and your care for before,
It’s a fake,
An apparition of hope,
Designed by my mind, just a careful man’s rope

But I know, that this snow is the moon,
And each step on its surface is completely new,
So just give me a hint,
Tell me what’s on your mind,
Or i’m stuck in this lunar eclipse i designed,
I wanted to talk, but you told me to leave,
And now that time’s mine I can find time to breathe,
Just breathe,
Just breathe.
