Lyrics

Short Story

[Verse: Justin Vernon & Kacy Hill]

Oh, the vibrance

Sun in my eyes (It gets brighter)

'Til you can no longer see (And you're not lonely)

And you are no longer growing (To face up)

That January ain't the whole world

[Chorus]

And falling's really over shown

And you're never really, really on your own

[Outro: Justin Vernon & Kacy Hill]

First thing is just be watched

Time heals, and then it repeats

You will never be complete

And the strain and thirst are sweet

You have not yet gone too deep
