"Inner Peace" lyrics

My breath gets caught across the window
The fall was brief
The trees got weak
We're all so used to letting go now

But I'll admit I've been ungrateful
'Cause they've been summarizing things
You can't just summarize these things

The snow falls
Have you moved on?
Why can't we stay?
Why can't we stay long?
When the leaves died
Did the trees cry?
Why can't we stay?

I know my way around this place, you see
I've smiled here in the winter
And I've cried here in the spring
There's nothing in this world that doesn't someday have to leave
I've lost track of my inner child
I won't lose inner peace

The seasons fold and now it's April
A touch of heat
A night of sleep
And now I'm scared to be too stable
But life speeds up each time the bell tolls
The flowers bloom
It should be you
That sees the beauty reawaken

The trees grow
Now we're so tall
Why can't we stay?
Why can't we stay long?
When a birds cries
Can it still fly?
Why can't we stay?

I know my way around this place, you see
I've smiled here in the winter
And I've cried here in the spring
There's nothing in this world that doesn't someday have to leave
I've lost track of my inner child
I won't lose inner peace

So, if you go, my darling
I'll keep a piece with me

I never saw you in the snow
The drums kept beating in the cold
I wonder if the drummer knows
That while he plays, the world gets old

I swear I see you in the trees
A year of rage, one summer breeze
I still love who I thought you'd be
Oh, there's never been much foliage in grief

I'm calling out now
I'm calling out now
I'm calling out, my love
