Lyrics
The weight of my phone Like a tablet of stone Seems to grow with the words I just read And it silently falls From my hand to the floor With the wonders I wished I had said

And for a time there is timelessness Endless furore To the dark I said pour and forgot to say when And the words that you wrote Come back blacker than smoke I’m so sorry, I’ve done it again

So I gather up the candlelight Jangle the chimes And mop up what is left of my lungs And I climb up the ladder Had I taken more care I might have seen all the rot in the rungs

And I pack what is needed For the journey to come All my books, all my bracken and booze And the door shuts behind me And I breathe in the air And say yeah, well I’m sorry too

And I stare at the soldiers before me All my blossoms that have waited to fall And I walk And I walk And I walk And I walk Knowing every last one of them is painted in light As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

My dress is on fire And I hurl myself, I heal myself I drag myself like a rug in the rain And my saint she is dancing As every step I choose to take Begins to set the world aflame

And the soldiers march behind me I can hear them beat their spears And for the first time in all my life I know I’m more than what I fear

And I stare At the soldiers before me All my blossoms that have waited to rise And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (with you) And I walk

And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (I will walk) And I walk (with you) And I walk

And I run (love run) And I run (love run) And I scream out to the sky (Love run, love run) You do not get to hurt me just because I asked you once If you were alright

And I look at the phone On the floor and I drink That nice wine you were saving, it's saving me now love And my soldiers sit by Like I’m newly baptised In the blossoms that fell from above And I pick up the phone Dial your number and wait And shine like my petals once shone And just as it’s ringing I whisper aloud To my saint Oh we, we’re gonna get on
