And We Remain - JOHNNYSWIM

That murmuration of starlings

Is stuck in my head, stuck in my head

Oh, the fear I can hear it beating your chest

That beating your chest

There won’t be no easy escaping

Just take my hand

It won’t just blow away

Like my Cavendish can

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may

It’ll turn to ash if it’s meant to and we’ll be okay

Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane

Long as the altar holds what it’s meant to

And, darling, and we remain

We remain

Oh, now look to the mountain

It’s snowing again, it’s snowing again

That chest that was heavy and heaving is breathing again

I’m breathing again

There won’t be a thing that we needed

We needed anyway, didn’t need it anyway

Ease is only a burden removed by pain

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may

It’ll turn to ash if it’s mean to and we’ll be okay

Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane

Long as the altar holds what it’s meant to

Darling, and we remain

Yeah, oh we remain

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

So let it burn, let the fire take what it may

It’ll turn to ash if it’s mean to and we’ll be okay

Let it go, let the moon surrender and wane

Long as the altar holds what it’s meant to

Darling, and we remain

And we remain

Ours is a luxury gone sour (ooh…)

Ours is a love gone so sweet
