Stones
Ok Moon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So much can happen in a year
Is trading blame still one of them?
Cut the claims I'm standing here
You wanna talk I'm listening

Thought we grew out of indecision
When we made plans that read the same
For all the quiet times you shiver

We're still a thing that seems to stay

So, start living
Keep this ticket
stones
Are heavy alone
So, start living
Hold, we're in it
stones
Are heavy alone

All the marks they belong
All the parts make a whole
For all the quiet times you shiver
I'll tell you that we're growing old

So, start living
Keep this ticket
stones
Are heavy alone
So, start living
Hold, we're in it
stones
Are heavy alone

Stones are heavy alone
Stones are heavy alone
