Landmarks Lyrics

[Hook: Dylan & Regina]

I want you to be my landmark
Go on and guide me home
I’ve been lost long for miles ago
If we get landlocked, then our tired souls
Won’t sail away
Before we’re gone

[Verse 1: Dylan]

If we’ve all moved on
By the time summer’s gone
Then I might have to rewrite this story in my palms
The wind was blowing calm then I settled and it shook me, but I paid no mind
Stay awake until the day goes quiet
I spent the rest of the weekend getting high off old photographs
Burning those memories that hold us back
Somewhere in our plotline
We were on a folded path
I had not forgotten
I’m the loneliest kind
And I just don’t know
Why
This cold has gotta go to my mind
The world is so big
But it feels so small
When I try to fit my soul inside
[Verse 2: Dylan & Regina]

If we’re not dead by the time summer ends
Then I might have to rewrite my story again
I saw it from a window in a city where they race their lives
Wait forever let the days tear by
I’ve got a bad habit of holding onto what has finished
When I came back from college all my friends smoked cigarettes
And I was just to packing my things too soon
Yeah you can’t control the roads you choose
But perhaps we could pretend all our scars are invisible tattoos
And decorate our bodies with the bad things we’ve been through
I knew we could make it on the ride home
From the concert with the lights along the silos

[Verse 3: Dylan]

Yeah and if we don’t die then it’s probably not our time
So I might have to rewrite this chapter in our lives
It took a lot out of me I hadn’t been home
It’s cliché but the winter of this past year was cold
Yeah I’m only nineteen but my mind is older
And when things got for real my warm heart turned colder
Now the future’s in an emptiness, a place called mine
I can mark but can’t erase those times
Sick of
One too many months spent living in the darkness
One too many friends gone lifted on their starships
All of us dependent on some wish upon a star shit
Just like you I’ve been writing just to lift us through a hardship
[Verse 4: Dylan & Regina]

It’s something that I’ve got in my bones
I said I’m more than a skeleton I honestly know
That if this life might swallow me whole
Then I’ll be hungry for somebody to believe in me
Is it ironic that the loneliness is eating me?
I don’t think I’ll pay no mind
Keep your warm heart closer than the rays that light your way
Saying
If we’re not dead by the time summer ends
Then I might have to rewrite my story in pen
And I
I just don’t know why
Just don’t know just don’t know just don’t know
Why
This world is so big
But it feels so small
When we go to fit our souls inside

[Hook]
