"Capelton Hill" lyrics

Close up the house for one more year
Every single leaf has turned to red
The frost is settling on all the roofs around here
Do you remember what you said
200 days ago when everything was lost
And everybody closed the door?
You looked at me under the lightning tree and told me
"What has all of this been for?"

Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
Don't we?

I told you we were here to fight
I told you we were here to sing
I told you we were here to keep each other company
And that it's meant everything
A million miles in our sleep
A million streets lost in the past
There's only memories left to keep now love
And even they are running fast

Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
I said take me to bed with some hope
Kick up the choir just to keep us afloat
When we tip we can swim through the dark
Dream up the miles that we clocked from the start
Hand to heart

Sweeping up the ashes of the fire
From when we set ourselves alight
A different sea of faces singing all our songs to us and
A different city every night
Close up the house for one more year
Wave to the lake and drive away
That feeling in your chest it isn't fear
It's just the passing of the day

Wandered far up on Capelton Hill
Fell in the ditch when we stopped for that kiss
Rolled into years that we'd mark on the floor
I forgot that we always want more
You said let's pack the kids and get out
Trade in the city for clouds in the south
Mirrors reflect what's been left in the past
The end never ends it just might not last
But it's a start
Hand to heart

It's a start
Hand to heart

It's a start
Hand to heart

It's a start...
