[Verse 1] An avalanche of feelings falling In my head I heard you calling Poring over all the words Wondering if I had misheard We both were turning pages over From our book, a worn and weathered cover Finding out the past was here Seeing you're no longer there [Chorus] It was a race against the pebbles The sticks and stones and troubles All the pain that we had over words left unsaid Wading through the pain while fleeing Everything had changed now seeing Nothing else was left After our race... a-gainst... the pebbles [Verse 2] From afar at times you see things better From the stars I knew I'd see you never Making sense of all this space Filling in the shades of gray While adrift the whys and reasons hollowed As the months moved on and seasons followed The leaves had fallen on the ground From branches they had once been bound [Chorus] It was a race against the pebbles The sticks and stones and troubles All the pain that we had over words left unsaid Wading through the pain while fleeing Everything had changed now seeing Nothing else was left After our race... a-gainst... the pebbles [Bridge] I know I may not ever know How it was we lost our afterglow How the fires burned, as pages turned, as questions all around were earned [Chorus] It was a race against the pebbles The sticks and stones and troubles All the pain that we had over words left unsaid Wading through the pain while fleeing Everything had changed now seeing Nothing else was left After our race... a-gainst... the pebbles © 2026 Lyrics by Johnny Pineapple
