Alpenglow

I am the tide
The Atlantic
I've had my beach days
But I've had my Titanics

He was a mountain I've never known
Hard to get my bearings on terrain I've never been shown

Peaked through the tree line
To see what could be mine
Now I know

Alpenglow
Chased it from a car before sunrise
That ephemeral halo swallowed the peaks
Too bittersweet
I realized it can't be reached
I'm not chasing this high
I'm gonna swim in my light
Till I find what's mine to keep

I've got bad habits of rose-tinted glasses
Sunrise pink and purple of peaks so high
Regrettably they played tricks on my eye

Peaked through the tree line
To see what could be mine
Now I know

Alpenglow
Chased it from a car before sunrise
That ephemeral halo swallowed the peaks
Too bittersweet
I realized it can't be reached
I'm not chasing this high
I'm gonna swim in my light
Ohhh
Ohhh
