"Into The Rafters" lyrics

"Into The Rafters"

Traveling through these mountains far from home
Looking for the reason, looking for the road
Alone and in good company
I found a way to make myself part of these towns

And all the while these birds find their way into the rafters
They don't know what they're after
Like I can't reach you because you're too far away
You keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd all stop spinning
'Cause these words weigh nothing when you're too far away

Never seen these turns we're taking, never been this way before
Couldn't wrap myself around, it could take my eyes away
I'm not stuck along between these trips and choices
Gather several moments and leave songs behind

And all the while these birds find their way into the rafters
They don't know what they're after
Like I can't reach you because you're too far away
You keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd all stop spinning
'Cause these words weigh nothing when you're too far away

Keep myself in comfort with the things I'm taking home
More gin in late nights help the mornings come
But I can't hear the voice that loves me I'm wrapped inside my memories
Far from home

And all the while these birds find their way into the rafters
They don't know what they're after
Like I can't reach you because you're too far away
You keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd all stop spinning
'Cause these words weigh nothing when you're too far away
