[Verse 1]. I used to be fearless. You used to be brave. Running through evenings. Chasing days. Now we're so restless. Waiting for trains. Going through motions.
Over on your island, counting your clocks. Moments move to months you're living like this too long. Into every evening, people dress up. Celebrating something let's invite everyone.
All the ghosts are sitting in their trees. Quietly they're singing to me. Some slow soul song forgetting the words. Like long last names or lessons I've learned.
