Destined to Shine

Lyrics

Winter
VERSE 1
A glacial expanse / Of possibilities.
Endless / Like our memories.

PRE-CHORUS 1
You don’t know what this means,
But I love you / And I know that you love me.
You’re unleashed.
There’s no one else around, so go!
Madly bound through snow on the
Frozen river. / It’s the dead of winter.
CHORUS
Our river runs, our river flows
Beneath our feet, where ice has grown
Too deep to break. Too deep to splinter.
Now all at once, this moment goes
Into days we’ll never know. Stay awake.
Through the dead of winter.

VERSE 2
Your footprints in the snow
Are imprints on my soul.
Permanent fixtures / Thaw into pictures.

PRE-CHORUS 2
You don’t know what this means.
I love you / And I know that you love me.
We are unleashed.
See what you want to see.
I smile, but it hurts to set you free;
Melting into a memory.


CHORUS
Our river runs, our river flows
Beneath our feet, where ice has grown
Too deep to break. Too deep to splinter.
Now all at once, this moment goes
Into days we’ll never know. Stay awake.
Through the dead of winter.
BRIDGE
We shimmer in the setting Sun
That mirrors our beguiling fun
As you chase me
To a place where you can’t follow.
Who knew solid love could feel so hollow?
PRE-CHORUS 3
You won’t know what this means,
I’ve loved you
And I know that you’ve loved me.
Now I’m unleashed.
You’ll no longer be around. Don’t go.
Tell me how that I’m supposed
To walk this river / After our dead of winter.
CHORUS
Our river runs, our river flows
Beneath our feet, where love has grown
Too deep to break. Too deep to splinter.
Beyond the sun, beyond the snow
I’ll see days you’ll never know. Stay.
Please stay… Please, please stay.
OUTRO
What was solid once now flows
And springs new life to grow.
In this there’s hope.
But I’m now alone.
