Lyrics

She weaves secrets in her hair
Her whispers are not hers to share
She's deep as a well
She's deep as a well
Another day wastes away
And my heart sinks with the sun
A new day's dawning
When a new day has not yet begun
So, anyway
There I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in
The sweetest decline
The sweetest decline
Sober mind
What's the use in regrets?
They're just things we haven't done yet
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
Another day draws away
And my whole heart sinks with the sun
It's like catching snow on my tongue
It's like catching snow on my tongue
So, anyway
There I was
Just sitting on your porch
Drinking in
The sweetest decline
The sweetest decline
Sober mind
What are regrets?
To you, what are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet
It's like catching snow on your tongue
You can't pin this butterfly down
Can't pin this butterfly down
