glitter (for ash) Lyrics

It was cold at night when I first saw the light

Every moment after praying I get it right

Water me, I live to see you grow

This room shrunk when I had to see you go

I'll watch the snow, you'll sit by the sands

It'll never be as cold, or warm as our hands

In this ocean I forget the abyss

Lost my ignorance but here I found some bliss

I'll reach for you like waves reach to clouds

I hope I don't miss, hope I don't miss out

I'll reach for you through the cloud of doubt

I hope I don't miss out on

This is my home. I found warmth and rest

Don't own this world, but you'll always have my best

Forever's only autumn in a dream

Lost in my lonely, put hurricanes on film

One bashful cloud of blessings rained on me

Lavender bloomed, that purple hue saved me

So I'll reach for you like waves reach to clouds

I hope I don't miss, hope I don't miss out

I'll reach for you through the cloud of doubt

I hope I don't miss out on this

And if I burned it all down

This match made in heaven

Would you tell the angels

That I just wanted light?

Somewhere in the smoke

I saw my reflection.

It was not for affection

But god still tends the fire

I would live and die for your shine

But what's glitter to ash?
