Fairy Lights by The Small Calamities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The fog rolls in and sucks this city dry
Outside of your apartment on a frozen summer night
Entry codes still branded in my brain
Waiting on the landing for last autumn to begin again
[Verse 2]
At least the warfare's still symmetrical
Through desert dust and ketamine, your ashes on my grave
I lie awake on hotel drapery
As empty space and memories keep me permanently on the edge
[PreChorus 1]
I would stop writing sad songs if I knew how
[Chorus]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's less goodbye and it's more get the fuck away
Forget your dreams and write down the things you'd never say
We fell so easy but I will fight another day
[Verse 3]
That sofa bed was couched in little lies
We talk about the future like we'll make it there alive
Still finding traces of your cats on all my jackets
I would set myself on fire if I'd rise as someone new
[Verse 4]
The biggest lies i let myself believe
That closure would come easily and anything is free
"Closure" feels like opening a wound
You never quite recover, you just pray the worst of it will pass on soon
[PreChorus 2]
I would stop writing you songs if I knew how
[Chorus]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's less goodbye and it's more get the fuck away
Forget your dreams and write down the things you'd never say
We fell so easy but I will fight another day
I will fight another day
[Bridge]
If I could go back to where the holidays began
Through pine and menthol and take my world out of your hands
If I could go back and rearrange the fallen sand
I guess I'd leave it, and be right here where I am
[Coda]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's just "goodbye" is so hard for me to say
The fog rolls in and sucks this city dry
Outside of your apartment on a frozen summer night
Entry codes still branded in my brain
Waiting on the landing for last autumn to begin again
[Verse 2]
At least the warfare's still symmetrical
Through desert dust and ketamine, your ashes on my grave
I lie awake on hotel drapery
As empty space and memories keep me permanently on the edge
[PreChorus 1]
I would stop writing sad songs if I knew how
[Chorus]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's less goodbye and it's more get the fuck away
Forget your dreams and write down the things you'd never say
We fell so easy but I will fight another day
[Verse 3]
That sofa bed was couched in little lies
We talk about the future like we'll make it there alive
Still finding traces of your cats on all my jackets
I would set myself on fire if I'd rise as someone new
[Verse 4]
The biggest lies i let myself believe
That closure would come easily and anything is free
"Closure" feels like opening a wound
You never quite recover, you just pray the worst of it will pass on soon
[PreChorus 2]
I would stop writing you songs if I knew how
[Chorus]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's less goodbye and it's more get the fuck away
Forget your dreams and write down the things you'd never say
We fell so easy but I will fight another day
I will fight another day
[Bridge]
If I could go back to where the holidays began
Through pine and menthol and take my world out of your hands
If I could go back and rearrange the fallen sand
I guess I'd leave it, and be right here where I am
[Coda]
With fairy lights across your ocean haze
It's just "goodbye" is so hard for me to say
