happenstance

i haven’t recorded anything in ages. lyrics below :) strange tunings are fun!

i will wait for you when the sun goes down
water rises floods the town
head backwards to the only love you knew
and jump for moments and little clues

and all the times you said you loved me
with a simple silent glance
we grew up in all the shadows
of a plan called happenstance

i grew up on the dark side of the sun
somewhat simple on the run
just ask our mother if she’d be ok with leaving him
on the outskirts with his sins

and all the times she said she loved me
with a simple silent glance
we grew up in all the shadows
of a plan called happenstance

so how’d you end up
dancing through the leaves?
so why’d you hide out,
why’d you fall down with me?
backwards on the broken tracks you leap

i will jump backwards to the end of the earth
filled with angry words they cursed
an open door will lead the way back to the summers heat
until the ocean falls asleep

and all the times they said they loved me
with a simple silent glance
we grew up in all the shadows
of a plan called happenstance
a plan called happenstance
