Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So apropos

Saw death on a sunny snow

For every life

Forego the parable

Seek the light

My knees are cold

[Bridge]

Running home, running home, running home, running home

[Verse 2]

Go find another lover

To bring a–, to string along!

With all your lies

You're still very lovable

I toured the light

So many foreign roads

For Emma, forever ago
