[Verse]
N.C.
there's a picture that i found
N.C.
my first car in the falling snow
N.C.
seems like yesterday i drove down into low tide
N.C.
and isaac snapped a polaroid of me pretending i was sinking
N.C.
pressed against the glass, pleading
N.C.
i misplaced it but i'm looking
[Chorus]
when we are Cyoung, if Gonly we could see beCyond our fears where we are Gfree
when we are Clonely, if Gonly we could know that Cin our stillness we are Ggrowing
[Verse]
all the portraits Cwe collected
while we were running aGround in the desert
we were trying to Cseem fulfilled
to rewrite our Gnew york city narratives
but emily, we were Cutterly dejected
we took turns crying on the Gpassenger side of america,
too Cclouded to be empowered by towering Gredwoods
[Chorus]
when did we Close the Gancient truths?
is it what we're Cborn bending our bodies Gtowards?
how can we Cspend our lives searching Goutside of ourselves
for the Cinner knowledge of our oneness with the Gworld?
[Bridge]
Amshervin, remember when my Bmcar finally quit?
we'd Cdrag our dirty clothes after dark to Bmlavanderia
and wander graham Amave. obsessing over Bmsingers we love
i Cthought i was so alone but now i know i Bmnever was
you've Amalways been the jenny Bmto my watson twins
can't Cland the harmony but we'll keep Bmsinging it
no Amphotographic artifact but Bmhere is something better than thatC  
[Chorus]
when we are Cyoung, if Gonly we could see beCyond our fears where we are Gfree
when we are Clonely, if Gonly we could know that Cin our stillness we are Gstill growing
