about

A song about gratitude.

lyrics

Smoke is crawling
The sky is sobbing
But don't you be mistaken
I will keep you safe
'Til the world is ours for taking

Your faces blurry
But not to worry
'Cause I can dream of what's ahead
A golden ticket out
Of this godforsaken bedlam

Endless days and drives on Sunsets
When you leave don't follow in my footsteps
Ooh, ooh..
I've been tasting bitter flavors
But if you ask I'd always say you're worth it
And I am the auditor's daughter, humble is me.
I am the auditor's daughter, proud as can be.

New shoes are tiny
So nice and shiny
Tied up with a satin bow
I pinch your rosy cheeks
How much do you ought to know

Wrote a letter
Hid the letter
In the back of your armoire
So someday if you find
You're wandering...and wondering..
A dormant part of who you are

Endless days and drives on Sunsets
When you leave don't follow in my footsteps
Ooh, ooh
Life's been leaving bitter flavors
but if you ask I'd always say you're worth it
and I am the auditor's daughter, humble is me.
I am the auditor's daughter, proud as can be.

"As locks and keys change
Our light will falter and wane
It's only natural to"

"But," he signs the paper
"My darling sweetheart
Everything I did, I did for you"

I will never fully understand
but i am thankful all the same
I will never understand
but i am thankful all the same
I will never understand...
but i am thankful all the same

Endless days and drives on Sunsets
When you leave don't follow in my footsteps
Ooh, ooh
Life's been leaving bitter flavors
but if you ask I'd always say you're worth it
and I am the auditor's daughter, humble is me.
I am the auditor's daughter, proud as can be.
