The Equation by Tiny Dolphin Lyrics
Where do I begin?
I should have sunk my nails into your skin
Into your cherry blossom elbows
Into the dimples on your back, and held you so close
When it's all said and done
Will flooded eyes characterize
What we could have become
What we would have become
What we should have become?
Well here’s to jet black hair against red metal
To drained white rooms
To lightless halls
To eyes that still unsettle
To cold evenings
Of your burned skin on mine
The slats of sun
On pillows of sand
The slip into a waste of time
Nobody ever knows these things for certain
That's what I told myself when we closed the curtain
But are ebbing tides this slow?
Are we Alvvays' "In Undertow"?
Do we really want to find the equation, Or did I feel reconciliation?
Here’s to the night that felt like you'd always be here
Death Cab and wine was a trance that never disappeared
I'll take my mind back to that space We were young, I was bolder
I just want your subtle grace
Just want your head upon my shoulder Truth is that, I'm terrified
Of coming new your wounded heart But tell me if there's time to try
Tell me if this has come apart
Here's to the night that felt like you'd always be here
Death Cab and wine was a trance that never disappeared
If that is what you want, broken prize If that is what you want, almond eyes I'll set out to find
Yeah, I’ll set out to find
The equation for soul separation, separation And I know that I’ll sail on
I know that we'll both be fine
But you write the equation
That redirects our storyline
And I know that I’ll sail on
And I know that we'll both be fine But you write this equation
That redirects our storyline
You'll always be here
I should have sunk my nails into your skin
Into your cherry blossom elbows
Into the dimples on your back, and held you so close
When it's all said and done
Will flooded eyes characterize
What we could have become
What we would have become
What we should have become?
Well here’s to jet black hair against red metal
To drained white rooms
To lightless halls
To eyes that still unsettle
To cold evenings
Of your burned skin on mine
The slats of sun
On pillows of sand
The slip into a waste of time
Nobody ever knows these things for certain
That's what I told myself when we closed the curtain
But are ebbing tides this slow?
Are we Alvvays' "In Undertow"?
Do we really want to find the equation, Or did I feel reconciliation?
Here’s to the night that felt like you'd always be here
Death Cab and wine was a trance that never disappeared
I'll take my mind back to that space We were young, I was bolder
I just want your subtle grace
Just want your head upon my shoulder Truth is that, I'm terrified
Of coming new your wounded heart But tell me if there's time to try
Tell me if this has come apart
Here's to the night that felt like you'd always be here
Death Cab and wine was a trance that never disappeared
If that is what you want, broken prize If that is what you want, almond eyes I'll set out to find
Yeah, I’ll set out to find
The equation for soul separation, separation And I know that I’ll sail on
I know that we'll both be fine
But you write the equation
That redirects our storyline
And I know that I’ll sail on
And I know that we'll both be fine But you write this equation
That redirects our storyline
You'll always be here
