Lyrics

I came to you a grain of sand A mere shadow of a mountain An empty shell, save for a tiny heart Nestled in a guilty conscience Unsatisfied, I cut my own chest open And O, how I was mistaken 'Cause O, my heart was wider than the oceans The expanse of my heart was exponential A boundless, new realized potential But O, how to make it beat? But you said, "Hush, Gabrielle," And you reached inside and squeezed And my hesitant heart began to beat I came to you a grain of sand A mere shadow of a mountain You took my hand and in my ear you whispered "New York is not where you belong But O, together we'll be strong And steadfast as rock And we'll find somewhere we can gather moss Until our amassing mountain stands aloft."
