about

**This is a DEMO version**

lyrics

When I was young, and unafraid, and unaware
About when you might leave, I didn't know, I didn't care
We could just laugh through the sun, and the rain,
And treat everyday like the next, all the same

But now I could use a little help, a guiding hand,
To come dig me up and brush away all the sand.
As each little grain represents a tiny piece of life from before
A different face, a different door

But each of the pieces, they just weigh me down
I can't separate them
I wish I knew how
It first caught my eye when we went South together;
To think all it took was a change in the weather

But now, I can only get so high
Up the mountain and stop
'Cause the clouds crown the top
But I hope you can see a better view of me
From the mountain
From the mountain

How does it look from the tip, from the peak?
I wish I was there to have a look, to hear you speak
And describe what we'd seen from the trees, to the birds
You always did have a way, such a way, using words

But the mountain is tall, and I think I would fall
If I tried to climb up the side with no guide
So I'll meet you up there and I won't ever stop
Until you finally share a little view from the top

But the mist from the mountain, it just slows me down
There's so much to see through; I wish I knew how
But a view from the top, it looks better together
To think all it takes is a change in the weather

But now, I can only get so high
Up the mountain, then stop
'Cause the clouds crown the top
But I hope you can see a better view of me
From the mountain
From the mountain

Oh, how I wish I could see you there
Standing alone, I wish I was there
Wish I could've seen you before you go
When I'll get to the mountain, I'll never know

But the mist from the mountain, it just slows me down
There's so much to see through; I wish I knew how
But a view from the top, it looks better together
To think all it takes is a change in the weather

But now, I can only get so high
Up the mountain, then stop
'Cause the clouds crown the top
But I hope you can see a better view of me
From the mountain
From the mountain
