mountains Lyrics

We drove to the mountains looking for an escape

And swearing out the windows we were sick of this place

But when we got there I found a new space to run from

You stayed in my brain, filed away

And I wasn't saving you for a rainy day

But your face and the elevation

Made it hard to breathe

The crystal clear skies

Brought out your heartbroken eyes

And in the process somehow

Clouded mine

I finally fleed my blood-soaked dreams

Just to enter a new crime scene

I tried not to leave a path in my grief

But now I'm mourning you and me

In every past dream you were so sweet to me

But the blinding morning sun's made it so hard to see

I couldn't recall what I saw when I was sleeping ignorantly

So why did the mountains make me feel so small?

I'd make this a game but I'm too tired to stand tall

Plus my mind is telling me that

You have got it all

The crystal clear skies

Brought out your heartbroken eyes

And in the process somehow

Clouded mine

I finally fleed my blood-soaked dreams

Just to enter a new crime scene

I try not to leave a path in my grief

But now I'm mourning you and me

I was finally freed but my heart likes to bluff

It started putting me in handcuffs

And in the final scene you'll leave

And that's rough

And now I'll never know if I could be enough

Mountains

Mountains

Oh, oh

Mountains

Now I'll never know if I could be enough for you

Mountains

Mountains

Oh, oh

Mountains

Now I'll never know if I could be enough

We drove to the mountains looking for an escape

And swearing out the windows we were sick of this place

But when we got there I found a new space to run from
