lyrics

I know what you're hungry for
I watched you open every door

Come and dance with me,
We are the same
You know my name
You'll never feel ashamed

They tell us what is real
They tell us what is right
They tell us how to feel
They tell us how to fight

Take my hand
I know the way
I know where you want to be
I know why you want to stay

I got that recipe
Missing in your life right now
One recipe
You can't seem to find
One recipe,
Without it, you just don't know how
One recipe
Can't get it out your mind

The mixed hunger
Of turning back
The journey so bittersweet
Trying to get everything back
One medicine
One prayer
One leaf from when you were there
One recipe
One tea
That one potion from when you were free

I know what you're hurting for
Ask for healing, prepare for war
Forever promised, coming soon
I love you salt in every wound

You know all the careful games we play
Teach me how to leave,
Teach me how to stay
Up all night
My eyes rubbed raw
I love you snow
I love you thaw
