I've got sand in my pockets
And wind in my hair
The hope I had
Is holding up just fine
I gotta move mountains
My coat is heavy with it
I had water captured
In the curve of my hand
I carried it to the sea
I swam back to land
Till bit by bit
The shoreline shifts
You said it was over, called me your atlas
Sorry I'm still carrying you
You act like it was nothing
I gave too much but that
God, you're complex and I like that
So I'm selling my stuff
Building houses out of cardboard
The price I pay to think it could work
I knew it was tough
Not that it wasn't true
Your world on my shoulders
Never the other way, never the other way
Never the other way
You had a ball and chain
You didn't know I was there
Dragged me through the mud, then
I asked what was weighing on your chest
Is there still room for me
I knew it'd be alright
Then the moment was gone
You said it was over
Called me your atlas
Sorry I'm still carrying you
You act like it was nothing
I gave too much but that
God, you're complex and I like that
So I'm selling my stuff
Building houses out of cardboard
The price I pay to think it could work
I knew it was tough
Not that it wasn't true
Your world on my shoulders
Never the other way, never the other way
Seen
I wish I could take our weeks
And ritually set them on fire
Too much to ask?
Looking back
They were unstable weeks
I'd break both legs
If you ask
But you said it was over, called me your atlas
Sorry I'm still carrying you
You act like it was nothing
I gave too much but that
God, you're complex and I like that
So I'm selling my stuff
Building houses out of cardboard
The price I pay to think it could work
I knew it was tough
Not that it wasn't true
Your world on my shoulders
Never the other way, never the other way
