[Verse 1] Amber leaves hang in her hair Boots half sunk in the quiet earth Cold air catching every breath Like she’s afraid to move To break the spell
[Chorus] She’s looking far beyond the trees Past every road she’s ever known Heart like a suitcase at her feet Hands in her pockets Aching to go Standing still as the branches sway Watching the world turn gold and grey She’s looking far beyond the trees Trying to see who she could be
[Verse 2] Old scarf pulled against her mouth Eyes on some invisible line Last words trembling on her tongue Soft as the light on her shaking hands
[Chorus] She’s looking far beyond the trees Past every road she’s ever known Heart like a suitcase at her feet Hands in her pockets Aching to go Standing still as the branches sway Watching the world turn gold and grey She’s looking far beyond the trees Trying to see who she could be
[Bridge] If she steps forward Does she disappear? (oh) If she turns backward Does she stay right here? One deep breath in Red leaves fall like years
[Chorus] She’s looking far beyond the trees Past every road she’s ever known Heart like a suitcase at her feet Hands in her pockets Aching to go Standing still as the branches sway Wrapped in the last soft light of day She’s looking far beyond the trees Almost ready to believe in her
[Outro] One more heartbeat Then she moves Through the quiet Into the blue
