Story Behind The Song
This song is a culmination of the band's efforts. It's dark, strange, and beautiful. The lyrics are a haunting love-letter to the listener... and Daniel Ryan expresses just how special the band really is to him. This one is very much self-referential.

Lyrics
Can you hear me?
How did you get here?
It doesn't matter.
Follow my voice out.
We need to get you home.
Wherever that is for you.
I want to be alone.
I want to be alone with you,
Wherever that is.
I don't need to know your name, but let me tell you mine.
I can hear you.
What wonderful things you say.
I'll come down for you
And search for you every day.
I have something I want to say.
This is all happening too fast.
I can barely hold on.
Each change comes quicker than the last.
And then it's gone.
Where has it gone?
The snow is lovely.
The city's dark.
On the mountain.
I can talk to you for hours and hours.
You're too kind.
It's making sense now, so listen up.
Speak your mind.
I'm right in front of you.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes!
The snow is lovely,
The city's dark.
On the mountain.
