Lyrics
[Intro]
Snow on the old trail
Footprints fading slow
I still hear your high boots
Crushing through the glow
[Verse 1]
We used to walk straight
Cold on our cheeks
Maps in our pockets
Not on a screen
You held a compass
Close to your chest
Said
“Feel where it pulls you”
Then trusted the guess
[Chorus]
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
Why did we bury those steady tracks?
All of these signs
Blinking too fast
I’m losing you under this avalanche
Avalanche of yesterday
Calling me back
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
[Verse 2]
Plans in a notebook
Coffee-stained ink
Promises scribbled
Made us both think
Now it’s a scroll
Endless and thin
Rooms full of talking
Nobody listens
[Chorus]
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
Why did we bury those steady tracks?
All of these signs
Blinking too fast
I’m losing you under this avalanche
Avalanche of yesterday
Calling me back
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
[Bridge]
[Strings and synths swell
Tempo feels to stretch
Choirs hover]
If I dig down
Through the noise
Through the glare
Will I find that quiet trail
Where your hand was always there?
If I stand still
Let the white rush crash and fade
Will the old road rise
From beneath what we made? (oh…)
[Chorus]
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
Why did we bury those steady tracks?
All of these signs
Blinking too fast
I’m losing you under this avalanche
Avalanche of yesterday
Calling me back
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
Why isn’t the path like the past path?
