Julia

I went and bought a fern cause I thought it might fill this hole
I water it every other day but the soil dries and I'm still cold
My heart just holds

I learned to play a tune cause I thought it might catch your ear
But every note I play sounds wrong like there's no air in here
My heart is clear

My heart just holds my god I know
I know what I want
My heart is clear, it wants you here
That's what I want
I tried to cover my tears with leaves, my sorrow with strings
My heart just holds

I think of our plans made side by side in the springtime
Counting down steps like the ways to put your hand in mine
Summer came like rain, the clouds, I should have seen it close
Caught without a coat but the wind, that hurt the most
I'm all alone

My heart just holds my god I know
I know what I want
My heart is clear, it wants you here
That's what I want
I tried to cover my tears with leaves, my sorrow with strings
My heart just holds

But covering tears with leaves, is like hiding from monsters in sheets
Strings only work if you can make them play pretty things
So I'll play pretty things

My heart just holds my god I know
I know what I want
My heart is clear, it wants you here
That's what I want
I tried to cover my tears with leaves, my sorrow with strings
My heart just holds
