Right when the blizzard ends, they throw a fucking huge parade-A great excuse for celebration of the mess they've made.But then when the streets get flooded, we know what proximity’s worth,‘cause we're already here, in the same place when our phones don't work.So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all,and I’m getting ready for when everything is wonderfulfor just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood,in a meadow, uncut and understood.We can be an island apart from a ceaseless war on our heart,Harbored in a fortress insurmountable,Taller than affliction, safe wherever we are.Erasing horror and disgust,Rewinding the sorrow and the rust.Before our suffering’s suffering, hadn’t we suffered enough?On the morning that we're both 19 and newly on our own,and all we know is “each other” and invisible homes,we find two empty seats in the back of a car in an empty parking lot,where all our bridges are abandoned and the cops have forgot.And I can feel the difference when the day begins,like all I know is, "This year will be the year we win."We smoke the paper from the banner from our past paradesand start again, before the memory of the mess we've made.

The beginning of this song sounds almost exactly like the beginning of "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd. Not saying it was done on purpose, and even if it was, I highly respect it cause The Antlers and Pink Floyd are basically music GODS.

This song is absolutely gorgeous. It's also inspiring to want to find a relationship that's even somewhat close as to relate to the feelings described. But also depressing since I've lost so many that could've been.I want to throw a parade for love instead of loss..
