Nora Mutcho - Lava Makes Mountains Lyrics

I heard you are a painter now, and that you sell too
We swore to each other that we'd stay immune to
To age to silence to boredom to bland food
You can speak French now and roll your Rs like a purr
You never spoke my language I guess my land was too far
I don't need your flashes of sun in the smog
For I have been blind from that light long before
It burnt like love should and I cried you out in a flood
But I still cherish the drops tho that you made fall
They built me like lava makes mountains makes stones
Made the woman I wasn't then, the woman I have become
I heard a million rumours that came to me in a breeze
You should know it's not cold but sometimes I still freeze
All the signs of you I find I just store in my knees
At times they quiver from memories
Of things often mourned for
They drool in thick waves they linger they go
Every time I survive them I feel myself grow
I don't need your flashes of sun in the smog
For I have been blind from that light long before
It burnt like love should and I cried you out in a flood
But I still cherish the drops tho that you made fall
They built me like lava makes mountains makes stones
Made the woman I wasn't then, the woman I have become
