Lyrics The Mountains - The Mountains

The Mountains

We’re gonna be the two first persons alive to ever call this our home
(I see the clouds gather up in random shapes I don’t know)
We’re gonna be the last ones standing when everyone’s departed and gone
(I watch the sun that slowly rises when it’s ready to show)
We’re gonna be the persons in the world to climb this mountain alone
(I will be still, I will be quiet and no word will be heard)
We’re gonna be right up there where their voices can’t reach us no more
(And when it happens if it happens, I will turn to the words and to the view)
I’ll name this mountain after you
I will climb every mountain and I’ll make them all shake
I will dive through the valleys and the bottomless lake
I’m gonna write in first person though I’m not sure that it really makes sense
I’ve seen myself disappearing for ages by reversing the lens
We’re gonna be the first two persons alive to climb this mountain again
We’re gonna stand real close and when everything comes to an end
I’ll name this mountain after you
I will climb every mountain and I’ll make them all shake
I will dive through the valleys and the bottomless lake
I see the clouds from inside out and sometimes upside down
And when I race to the valleys, when I run for your life
I sometimes make up my mind
I sometimes make up your parts
And when it happens I just feel guilty and sad
And there’s a feeling that everything’s going to end, and if it does I hope it
will be pretty
That the fires and the storms make wonders of the cities
That the waves bury every creation, everything that we’ve built
And when they do…
I’ll name this mountain after you
I will climb every mountain and I’ll make them all shake
I will dive through the valleys and the bottomless lake
I’ll name this mountain after you.
