found ourselves the night

from one day the horses will have their revenge by jordaan mason

lyrics

you who were tall and tender
swore the pounding waves away
and i saw your heart jump out of your chest
and into the grinning lake
and all the fireflies they gathered
and i caught them in my palms
where they swirled around and glowed about
as i sang out my songs
it was cold, but i stayed warm with you
it was cold, but i stayed warm next to you

we sat by a campfire
and tried to find the light
but instead we stomped the fire out
and we found ourselves the night
and i don't wanna spill out empty rhymes
or set fire to my bed
i already spend too much time
trying to figure out what's been said
so i won't say it again
so i won't sound redundant

the sun came up with wild lips
and kissed our skinny palms
and though we still hadn't slept
we ran around the lawn
and the neighbours gave us their strange looks
that our smiles couldn't see
so we just kept on holding hands
because we were finally free
and they can't take that away
and they won't take that away
