​laurel

[Intro]
Do you remember me?

[Verse 1]
Hold it close to you
Broken, bowed anew
I thought this was life
Watch the thread unwind

[Verse 2]
We were in Zion that summer
I was still trying to breathe
Watch it corrode the isomers
Everything I couldn't keep
All the nights that we spent being young
The copper rocks under our feet
The pastures never felt so wrong
Up in flames, your favorite evergreen

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Pull the needle through
Laces lorn the centеr
Hmm, hmm, hmm

[Verse 3]
I promise I wasn't crying
There was just smokе in my eyes
Holding you until the morning
I'd fall in and out of the fire
Wreathed in hollow ivory
Christened collows, bedaubing
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ah-ooh-ooh)
Mm, yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
And I saw your body covered in roses
And I started screaming, nobody noticed
The locket you gave me, thread intertwined
Tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding
I fell out the trunk of your dad's four-wheel drive (Ooh-ooh)
And we laughed it off when we called it a night (Ooh-ooh)
Through the laurels and brushweeds, we walked side by side (Ooh-ooh)
God, you were so pretty, even when we were crying (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause the rust started falling, I ran out of time (Ooh-ooh)
Watch the world invert into infrared light (Ooh-ooh)
Lying lithe on the duff, dying embers dissolving (Ooh-ooh)
The smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name (Ooh-ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
But I-I-I-I—

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Ooh, oh-oh-oh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And I saw your body covered in roses
And I started screaming, nobody noticed (Ooh-ooh)
The locket you gave me, thread intertwined (Ooh-ooh)
Tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I fell out the trunk of your dad's four-wheel drive
And we laughed it off when we called it a night (Ooh-ooh)
Through the laurels and brushweeds, we walked side by side (Ooh-ooh)
God, you were so pretty, even when we were crying (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause the rust started falling, I ran out of time
Watch the world invert into infrared light (Ooh-ooh)
Lying lithe on the duff, dying embers dissolving (Ooh-ooh)
The smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name (Ooh-ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
But I-I-I-I—
