lyrics

We made the mountains higher than our hearts,
higher than our eyes.
We set the sun to leave us to our thoughts,
to hide out from our lives.

Texas sun you breathe so heavy.
Texas sun you burn so cold.

I made the moon to keep me from the dark,
sleeping without sleep.
I held my hands clenched against the light,
because I thought that I could fight.

If I make it through the night,
then morning sun, won’t you shine your light?

I’ve sailed on ships in waters of the deep.
oh caves they grow so cold.
I’ve felt the sting of twisting, turning blood.
oh my veins they’ve grown so old.

If I make it through the night,
then morning sun, won’t you shine your light?
If I make it home tonight,
then morning sun, won’t you greet me with your light?

I thought I could wash,
wash away my sin,
make you love me more.

I could be the moon.
