Em Rattles Bones - Feather Sweater

When she was sixteen
Someone met her in a dream
He said "when the time comes,
And you need it, call for me"

To shield her from the coming weather
He gifted her his favorite sweater
She knows that even if she never
Finds him, she has this forever

One day he will say
"Come with me, let's run away
I've been looking for you for so long
So goddamn long
Let's heal the trauma in our bones"

Any time she wished she didn't walk alone
Down those steps made of stone
He was there, right before her, echoing through time
To let her know

Later she dreamed
Of a tidal wave
That tore his hand from hers
Washed him away

To free him from the iron tethers
She gifted him a seabird's feather
He knows that even if he never
Finds her, he can fly forever

One day she will say
"Come with me, let's run away
I've been looking for you for so long
So goddamn long
Let's heal the trauma in our bones"

Any time he wished he didn't walk alone
Down the wet cobblestone
She was there, right behind him, echoing through time
To let him know

We can't see the threads of fate until we've reached the end
The things that gave us migraines may turn out to be our friends
When we end up in a situation that feels like it was meant to be
It's invisible ropes pulling us closer to our destiny

One day they will say
"Put on that feather sweater, let's fly away"
I've been looking for you for so long
So goddamn long
Let's heal the trauma in our bones"
