lyrics

Picture this, picture me, the hero falling from grace an old accessory. The remains of this memory. Picture this, picture you, the calvary rising up, beneath us. The hot sweat of your palm, the increased heat and intensity throbbing on board this minibus. Think of us.

Don't you hesitate, why'd you run away?
God above, why don't you wanna stay?

The bishop in his church, the queen in her palace, you've settled into abandonment, your prowess. Knock, knock, at your door. Knock, knock, hands and knees on the floor. My arms were your shield and I gave to you my warmth, flapping in the wind, a cool draft north. You left it all on the floor.

Life is not served with a deep-fried main course, or a bitter divorce. And it's not found on the street, or in the cafe where the wifi is free. Or the photo of the one who you thought wouldn't leave, leave.

Don't you hesitate, why'd you run away?
God above, why don't you wanna stay?
You had my hand, I could not pull away.
You waved your way into the sky, like a bluejay.
Don't you hesitate, why'd you run away?
God above, why don't you wanna stay?
Stay.

Alter-ego of producer and musician Lachlan Reynolds.

From ice and pollen crops I reign, through dark mumbling and sustained chords I explain.
Dreams and moments from my mind to yours, in underwhelming times this may just be to you, another chore. ... more
