Braid Burn Valley (blink, Now You've Missed It) Lyrics

by Honeyblood

[Verse 1]
Down in the Braidburn Valley
Looks like the weather's turned
When the air gets foggy
The castle in the skyline goes blurred
All the joggers have jogged on home
Dog walkers have thrown their bones
Here, the valley carries a lowly tone
And only the blackbirds and crows know how the song goes
I walk up the hill holding on my red raw knees
As the wind knocks them in the breeze
The black iron bench is standing still
Just as it was the last time I felt this ill
I trace my thumb over where
I carved my name
Somewhere I feel so ashamed
A love lost is a notch gained
I could always scratch it out
If I had initials to replace

[Verse 2]
Another fucking bruise
But this one looks just like a rose
Another fucking bruise
But this one looks just like a rose

Oh, in this valley I will do my haunting
When I become a ghost

Another fucking bruise
And this one looks just like a rose
Just like a rose
Just like a rose
Just like a rose

[Outro/"Blink, Now You've Missed It"]
Do you remember my first shooting star?
I think about it all the time when we're apart
I made a wish and threw it up above
That day hangs in my heart like a portrait of our love

And I always promise to
Keep my promises to you
I always promise to
Keep my promises to you
