**Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by ๐ป GHOST ๐ป** [intro bright, ambient wind textures] (plucked banjos ripple like creekwater, ambient pads drift beneath, layered with birdsong and distant breeze) [verse 1 falsetto lead, airy and grounded] i traced the ridge where the sparrows descend grass bowed with the breeze a calm picturesque end the sky shared its hue that the trees seemed to know so i followed the twigs where the wildflowers grow [pre-chorus falsetto lift with nature detail] and the hills turned their shoulders as the bracken pulled me in i was light as the pollen on the back of springtime wind [chorus falsetto, lyrical release] iโm not holding to the trail just the rhythm in the reeds thereโs a music in the current as the alder sheds its seeds i donโt move the way i did more like ivy on the eaves the way the morning lingers in the patterns of its leaves [verse 2 nature, drifting tone] the birches reached in their sun-painted sleeves i paused with the wind and the breeze gave ease a jay gently whistled then went on its way the sound of something peaceful I just want to stay [pre-chorus warm falsetto, fresh] and the meadow held a shimmer where the dandelions lean i could almost feel an ocean in the waves of the weeds [chorus falsetto harmony, emotional crest] iโm not holding to the trail just the sway in the reeds thereโs a music in the current as the alder sheds its seeds i donโt move the way i did more like ivy on the eaves just the way the sunlight lingers in the patterns of its leaves [bridge ambient and uplifting] iโve walked out past the markers where the hillside starts to bend and i learned the wind remembers even when it was just pretend [outro layered falsetto, peaceful fade] mmmโฆ and the earth will spin mmmโฆ whether or not i've sinned and the way the moment ends is the way the light comes in
