"Orchid" lyrics

"Orchid"

We were tourists in adolescence
We were lovers in regression

And every time I hold your hand
I feel something different in your palm

Such a palette of colours
That you've never seen
And you never dreamed
You could look upwards for so long

As you stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun

But I want you back to me

You're still a child to me
You're Adam's son

And as you sew
The leaves around your waist
You look the same
But your eyes have changed

They seem to shake
They seem to break

As you stare, stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun (Sits, sits, I)
Stare into the sun

But I want you back to me

I know you hide behind
I know you hide behind yourself
I know you hide behind
I know you hide behind yourself
I know you hide behind
I know you hide behind yourself
I know you hide behind
But I want you back to me
