Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once the fever subsides
I'll return to the flatlands
A new man, a new man
[Chorus]
Playing king, slowing time
Bundled for our rest cure with your X-ray in my locket
Planting seeds, idle hours
Chained to my reflection in the shadow of a mountain
[Chorus]
Playing king, playing bride
Blooming in my leisure, slipping hours left uncounted
You and me, and soon ours
Bury me beside you in the shadow of my mountain
Written by: Michelle Zauner
