Jungfrau Lyrics

I keep trying

To find something profound what you gave me

Some courage liquified

And a bunch of stuff I'll have to unpack in therapy

But you bought a jack knife at some vintage shop

They probably stole it off some corpse in the alps

I keep trying

To tell you how I feel but it doesn't come out right

So I scale up a mountain

Just to scream your name over the summer lights

But you're in a bad mood

And I have to help you

Steal a jack knife off some corpse in the alps

The air is getting thinner up here

You might just have to kill me

And cook my remains just to survive out here,

Just to survive out here

And I am just so dizzy

I might pass out in your lap here

But that knife is so shiny

You'll leave me here

Off the Jungfrau, you can see forever

I can see our house, and our car, and our school

And all the ways that you never

Off the Jungfrau, I can see you leaving

With that jack knife that you stole off me

Winter snows

And springtime brings the flowers and the music

The birdies tell the tale

Of the jack knife and how you use it

You made him a home

One you never had

Escaping all the consequences you owe me

Oh the air is getting colder up here

You might just have to move on

With your storm cloud, and forget

You ever left me here

God, you left me here

Off the Jungfrau, you can see forever

I can see the parts that you've broken, the ones you've grown and

All the things that you've weathered

Off the Jungfrau, I can see you leaving

With that jack knife that belongs to me
