retrograde from Red Winter by Hannah Norris & the Band

it's easy enough to scribble words on a page
the hardest part is knowing what to say
pick up my pen and write in vain
'cause it will never be the same

stop me if I go too far
like snapping strings on an old guitar
it's not our fault at least not today
for I have nothing more to say

you're such a selfish thing to keep
to hear your breathing in my sleep
I know you know it's not enough
but I promise to stay tough

I'm not drowning fast enough
I know I cannot leave this way
please Ophelia pull me down
I'm falling into retrograde

I've never like the sad look
of those who give but never took
and all your thoughts they spin me 'round
all your thoughts they let me down

the winter thought it's long and dark
it will not steal my beating heart
I didn't say anything
it's not important anyway

I'm not drowning fast enough
I know I cannot leave this way
please Ophelia pull me down
I'm falling into retrograde

tossed in the ocean like paper boats
made from second generation love notes
keep me close and hold me tight
you're all I need in morning light

I'm not drowning fast enough
I know I cannot leave this way
please Ophelia pull me down
I'm falling into retrograde
push me down into the ground
I'm falling into retrograde
