Veins of Your History Songtext
von Matthew and the Atlas

How long will your crown stay gold?
Will it slip away and leave when you′re old?
I'll wait where the tall tree bends
If you find me, I′ll be with you near the end

How long before that fear sets in?
Will it come to you to wash away your sin
How long before you cut me down to size
However long it takes you to realize

Oh, my love, you're not alone
Oh, my love, you're not alone


And you move around in this city
It′s veins shaped your history
I know you′ve been far from home
And that medicine cuts right to the bone

I see the grief got caught on your face
Running from a nameless place
Go tell your father you didn't mean to lie
But don′t worry about us, we'd never ask you, "Why?"

Oh, my love, you′re not alone
Oh, my love, you're not alone

You′ll take off your sides, that river runs wide
You'll wait where only better winds have blown
For a little peace-of-mind, it's a hard way to be
For a little peace-of-mind, that′s a hard way to be
