Harper West
(Anderson)

See the winter return and embrace in the company of strangers
Like the grey, windblown view from a tower, love would bring its own dangers
Couldn't live through the fall and the tangle of all the confusions we wear

Feel the bonds of a lengthy caress on a silent piano
How was something so good such a mess?
The recurrent "I don't know"
We say we want love, yet we can't pull above our unfocused desire

Can I never believe you again?
How can I step away as a friend?

A horizon that waits for the night as it stretches before you
Did you ever imagine I might rather trust than adore you?
We say we want love, yet we can't pull above our unfocused desire.

Can I never believe you again?
How can I step away as a friend?

See the winter return and embrace in the company of strangers
Like the grey, windblown view from a tower, love would bring its own dangers
Couldn't live through the fall and the tangle of all the confusions we wear
