The Thief Lyrics

A new wind will blow
through everything
through everything I know

I was looking into every car hoping that someone might see
and look back
I knew I let it out too far I watched it go I couldn't get it all back

CHORUS
Slowed it down below a waltz where there was hardly any sway or grace left
It was so slow you could see all my faults every solitary step and mis-step
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for I was the thief
made of but not with everything
there was a glow still under the ashes the past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow

Walking into every room in the aftermath
the place felt haunted
By all the things we didn't do when the memory of what we wanted

CHORUS:
Slowed it down below a waltz where there was hardly any swing or grace left
It was so slow you could see all my faults and every solitary step and mis-step
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for I was the thief
made of but not with everything
there was a glow still under the ashes the past was getting ready to let go
If a new wind would blow

A new wind
A new wind will blow
Through everything
through everything I know
through everything
through everything I know
through everything
a new wind will blow
through everything
through everything I know
