Verse 1:
Bsus4 F#(barred) Asus
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
E Bsus4
And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents

Drifting curls a trailing path
Asus E
A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash

Asus Bsus4
And if this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began
Asus
So hot with love, we burned our hands
Bsus4 Asus
If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began

hands" lyric stands out"}

Let it burn (if it's gotta end)
