lyrics

It feels like all the air has left the room
how could you know how you affect me?
you flicker like an old projector
your beauty never gets old

snowfall is the act of loving you
wind blow is the act of loving you
epic. silent. magic. through and through
simple. distant. pure.

do you see me trying to be a good person?
can you hear my every thought?
do you watch me when I’m sleeping?
the way that I do you

sun fall is the act of loving you
waves crash is the act of loving you
epic. silent. magic. through and through
simple. distant. pure.

epic. silent. magic. through and through
simple. distant. pure.

it's like flying the rooftops below
all our places seen from above
rows of seats in the empty theater
wait like seeds not yet sown

rain fall is the act of loving you
this song is the act of loving you
epic. silent. magic. through and through
simple. distant. pure.

epic. silent. magic. through and through
simple. honest. pure.

simple. honest. pure.
