The first part of the song duo Hard things and Glorious catastrophe. Written in the aftermath of a heated argument ending with a slamming door.
lyrics
Hard things you said to me,
of monsters beneath your sea
that lurk in the dark and deep abyss.
And hard things you told me of
a cold and a bitter frost,
that bites at your feet while we kiss.
And so we ran, away from the storm.
Your feet on my belly to keep me warm.
We have to learn, soon we'll both learn
to let go of our pain.
And to think I thought you needed time,
to think I thought you needed time,
to think I thought you needed time to think.
Warmth I can give to you,
to last us the whole night through.
I'll scatter your bad dreams away.
And all of our sorrows and all of our banes,
will make like the snowflakes and melt in the rain
and leave us the puddles to play.
And to think I thought you needed time,
to think I thought you needed time,
to think I thought you needed time to think.
