Slow Motion

Bonfires on the beach
Coming through the ashes
You're one with the colors
As the water crashes

When I came up for air
I saw our life from up there
We were moving in slow motion

You took the weight off of my back
Carried the burden for me
Shifted the winds to the west
Put your warmth around me

What did I give you in return?
A thousand letters to burn
I was cruel as life can be

Still life in the wind
Painted in my mind
The sea stopped moving
Changed overnight

When I think about it now
It seems clear and coursed out
But the winding road ahead
Was daunting

You, you, you
Took the weight off of my back
And you carried the burden for me

Shifted the winds to the west
Put your warmth around me

What did I give you in return
A thousand letters to burn
I'm sorry that I hurt you
