Fifteen in a Wheat Field

Verse 1

I was fifteen in a wheat field

When the sun forgot my name

They gave me forever and a hunger

And a thirst that never came

Centuries stacked like broken arrows

I have counted every one

Now I walk these northern boroughs

Where the summer never runs

Pre-Chorus

And I know what I am

I have always known

Every town becomes a graveyard

Every friend becomes a stone

Chorus

So I hum a little tune

As I walk into the cold

I hum a little tune

For the ones I used to hold

There is nothing left to save

There is nothing left to prove

So I hum a little tune

And I move

And I move

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Verse 2

I remember Rome as rubble

I remember gods as ash

Every prayer I ever whispered

Turned to copper turned to rust

And the girl inside the mirror

She has not aged a day

She still braids her hair at midnight

Like her mother used to say

Pre-Chorus

And I know what I need

I have always known

Every heartbeat is a borrowed

Little thing I call my own

Chorus

So I hum a little tune

As I walk into the cold

I hum a little tune

For the ones I used to hold

There is nothing left to save

There is nothing left to prove

So I hum a little tune

And I move

And I move

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Bridge

Maybe if I starve a season

Maybe if I hide from spring

Maybe if I beg a god who

Never heard a single thing

But the hunger hums beneath me

Like a river under snow

And I have never once outrun it

So I let the river flow

Chorus

So I hum a little tune

As I walk into the cold

I hum a little tune

For the ones I used to hold

There is nothing left to save

There is nothing left to prove

So I hum a little tune

And I move

And I move

Outro Hook

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

I move
