This song is about little trip to Manitou and a walk to the Rocky Mountains, to the beauty and splendour of Colorado, according to lyricist Sam Herring, during a performance at the Union Nightclub in LA in February 2, 2017. It is inspired by the relationship that he started and ended in 2016.
Our second step was river quiet
We walked along the Rockies, stones admired
Calcite greens and feather bones divided
Morning’s first born and a day-glow fire
Day glow fire
In your upstairs room, I sit in silence
No longer a guest in your bed
Or in your heart or head
Surrounded by your things and memories entire
Not finding any trace of me
I know it’s time to leave
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
I packed my bags last night
I always pick the strangest ways to say, ‘goodbye’
But I had to come and see that this had died
I had to look into your eyes
Just one last time
Just one last time
Oh I had to look into your eyes!
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
We used to talk until the sun come up
We used to walk, we used to run
And walk into the sun

Nature is the thing I have. I don’t talk about the person I loved – I talk about the beautiful things that we see, because that’s the thing that still exists.
