I recorded this version a few minutes after i finished writing it so please forgive the super roughness! (finished-er version in the works!)
but yeah the song is about forgiving, and letting the beautiful things in life affect us more. thank you Jesus for the beautiful things in life.
lyrics
yesterday feels like
a black and white photograph
promise me you wont think
about a single thing they’ve said
to you
if you dont know what to do
hold these roses to
your face and take them in
fall into this moment now
hold your head up to
the clouds and take them in
as everything else begins to fade
as surely as life goes
on and as the skies
reflect the burdens of
the changing seasons of our lives
our lives
im burning them away
the things you never meant to say
the colors bleed out to the edges
i dont feel the flames anymore
