Nothing Stays the Same Way For Long
Appears on:
I found a little piece of heaven
I wrapped it in a cloth
I slipped it in my pocket
That valley in the sun
I carry it around with me
Whenever I feel lost
I found a piece of heaven
And I wrapped it in a cloth
Fishing in that black lake
I think I caught the moon
It was round like yellow butter
It was smooth like a river stone
It was heavy as the tape hiss
Before the guitars bloom
Fishing in that black lake
I think I caught the moon
Those days
Those days never really end
If we can keep the fire lit
If we keep singing into it
It might never fade
But we, we get older all at once
Before you notice it's all gone
And then you'll know
That nothing stays the same way for long
Time is slick like oil
Time melts away like snow
It's a sunset in the mountains
It's friends you used to know
It's all these goddamn hours I've spent
Locked inside my home
Time is slick like oil
It melts away like snow
Those days
Those days never really end
If we can keep the fire lit
If we keep singing into it
It might never fade
But we, we get older all at once
Before you notice it's all gone
And then you'll know
That nothing stays the same way for long
