about

This song is about young love and suicide. Inspired by true events.

lyrics

Our love was fierce and sweetly sung
The kind that gets you when you’re young
You found some power in the tiny lines
And so the fracture grew with time
I loved you just as I had before
But I knew that you loved it more
You realized where the line was drawn
You realized I was moving on

Chorus
Oh oh oh
Oh why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go and be a snow angel? (x2)


The snow fell softly through the night
Dawn revealed a brilliant light
You climbed the hill up to the tracks
You felt the sunshine on your back
And did you hear, hear my voice?
Did you regret, regret this choice?
What did you feel? What did you see?
And as you fell, did you come free?

(Chorus x 2)

All those times that you showed up shaking,
Longing for some kind of liberty
You know that my heart was breaking
Waiting for the person that you could never be

I followed you into the stream
So much sorrow, so much blame
And there I stayed for years and years
Till the river swelled with tears
And I washed up upon the shore
And there my heart began to thaw
I knew the beating had begun
And so I turned and felt the sun
