Ambulences

[Verse 1]

I remember ambulances pulling up when I was feeling tired and I couldn't put a fire out again

I remember glove compartments full of stuff that you would never hide and I would try to justify it in my head

I remember nights I felt like throwing up from looking at a photograph I swore that I would never put aside

I remember hearing I don't know enough so I gave up on showing up to fake a conversation as I'm watching you die

Those pictures were faded

When you came back into frame

Like a saving grace back in 1918

A refuge from the rain

Cause your eyes shine bright through the downpour

Like Montreux in the fall

Like a clear blue sky on the heels of a storm

That I thought was the end of us all

[Chorus]

When you call out my name

The melody in your voice replaces memories that I hate

The pessimist that's inside can't find a terrible point to make

It's incredible how you shaped the sky

You turned the tempest into a sunrise

[Verse 2]

I remember bearing with anxiety and caring if you lied to me and holding on to hope I hid inside

I remember swearing by sobriety to guarantee a side of me inherited would never see the light

I remember that commitment falling through and thinking I would follow you and driving when I couldn't see a sign

I remember years I spent in solitude were haunted by the thought of you and conversations we could never have cause you died

Those pictures were faded

When you came back into frame

Like a saving grace on the Tagliamento

A refuge from the pain

Cause the rain won't make any difference

Your laughter is a radiant light

Into the past to a dangerous time

The ending is something that we get to write

[Chorus]

When you call out my name

The melody in your voice replaces memories that I hate

The pessimist that's inside can't find a terrible point to make

It's incredible how you shaped the sky

You turned the tempest into a sunrise

[Bridge]

You turned a hurricane to a clear blue skyline

You made me unafraid of my own mind

The world breaks everyone but with you I know I'm fine

I'll never let you go again

(I'll never let you go again)

I'll never let you go again

(I'll never let you go again)
