lyrics

we climbed a mountain to look at the sea
and the sun shone off green grapes
and your hair moved with the breeze
i looked at you and you looked back at me
and i found myself wondering
what i used to be so afraid of
and what our bodies are made of
and if ghosts walked along on the path where we stood
and if we'd get to to be all we'd be if we could

the sea wrapped around a town of many colours
there were whispers around us but there weren't any others
so we climbed back down and climbed under the covers
but i hid my face once i started to wonder
what i used to be so afraid of
and what our bodies are made of
and if ghosts walked along on the path where we stood
and if we'd get to be all we'd be if we could

but i've prayed to particles up in the sky
trying to find my place in pages of a big book of lies
but the little lights they listen, like they're alive
small souls whisper secrets from the dust where they hide
where there's nothing to be afraid of
'cause that's what this body is made of
out of ghosts that have walked on the path where we stood
they say try to be all that you'd be if you could
