[Lyric] Permission (Lillian Bloom)

I want to dress up in a sparkling silver gown
And wear it like a seahorse wears the sea
I want to gather all my friends like a bouquet
And sing in perfect harmony
I want to run through fields of lavender
As if there’s anywhere to go
But I asked the wind permission
And she said no

Instead I lay low
As the days slow
I try to let go
Because the winter wind said so

I want to see a stranger’s smile unfold
Like storybooks and origami cranes
I want the biggest challenge boggling my mind
To be picking out my future daughter’s name
I want to watch the sun go down below the prairie
And paint the cornfield red and gold
But I asked the wind permission
And she vetoed
I want to knit a sweater made of every moment
That made me forget my own name
Too smitten by the sparkling of stage lights
But it will never be the same
I watched the sun dig its own grave
And make the underground its home
Then my friends packed up and moved away
Into a dollhouse made of chrome

So now I lay low
As all the days slow
I try to let go
Because the winter wind said so

I want to take for granted
Your laughter brightly chiming
The moon inside my wine glass
My highlight ever shining
Illusions of the future
Set fire to our fears
Broke promises like glow sticks
Made seconds drip like tears
I want to take for granted
Seemingly wasted hours
The thrill of reuniting
The mid September flowers
My lilac manicure
With a shimmer on top
Blowing bubbles in our dorm room
And all our late night talks
Instead I lay low
As the days slow
I try to let go
Because the winter wind said so

Instead I lay low
As the days slow
I try to let go
Because the winter wind said so
