this song makes me feel something indescribable… it’s like i’m able to feel something that isn’t my own, i can feel what’s meaningful and important to this person and i just love their soul. loneliness, hope, nostalgia, longing, death, escaping death.. this and lilies brings me to tears. it’s indescribably meaningful to me. it makes me want to live
The atmosphere, the guitar tone across the board, the lyrical content and quality, and the composition. A criminally unknown song. Chills every time...
Lyrics There was a night when my view of the whole world changed with a crack of an eggshell I lay my head to rest in the hands of pretty orange peeler, she said "Baby, don't be so down on yourself, at least not tonight, please" "Baby, don't be so down on yourself" [Verse 2] I realized that the moon shines like a pillowcase and creases like our comforter You think of me, I'll think of you as a place, as a home [Chorus] I hold onto your words like candlelight You hold onto mine like a pantomime [Verse 3] A selfless man with a back cut like photographs was pulling out my wisdom teeth He planted them in the backyard and they grow to be tall, strong orange trees The fruit was rotten but the dirt was expensive, that's all nature meant to me The fruit was rotten but the dirt was expensive [Chorus] I hold onto your words like candlelight You hold onto mine like a pantomime I hold onto your words like candlelight You hold onto mine like a pantomime
