Lyrics

I found myself reading my dusty old red diary
I felt sad for that me to put it mildly
Skimming through the lines before I put it back
under the floorboard
I saw your name
I was caught short
That whole blame game
that old scoreboard

That was when you were a universe
That was when I assumed the worst
The wide open sky I was underneath
started turning dark, started turning to grief
It all went black
and it was coming for me

You thought you left me completely destroyed
Your words like atom bombs
full on deployed
I had an open cut close to the bone
And all the gentle folk looking on
but then they looked away
like my pants were down
In my disarray
like a wacked out clown

And that was when you were a universe
That was when I assumed the worst
The wide open sky I was underneath
started turning dark, started turning to grief
It all went black
and it was coming for me

I'm tearing out the pages
It happened so long ago
and before this river rages
I'm letting it go

Because now I'm a universe
and the good things are so numerous
I'm underneath a wide open sky
and when the river rises, we'll sing by and by
I feel that relief
coming for me
I feel something sweet
coming for me
ooo
ooo
coming for me
