I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It's all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

I was born with someone else's face
A cowards anger and a fighters rage
I wait around for them to take my place
And say love you're free now
I've been caught in some old boring joke
The only punch line is how long it goes
I'm in a song with one descending note
I got nowhere else to be now

And no one tells you just how long you'll last
Some go slowly and some far too fast
I've got time I never planned to have
I got years and years of it
I've been feeling like a wing clipped bird
Been repeating this old phrase I learned
That no one's voice is ever really heard
Until the whole world's screaming it

I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It's all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

I was living in a stranger's house
So I found shelter by the river's mouth
And I go swimming till my feet touch ground
Till I find something permanent
I see the rain over the valley's edge
Won't be long until the whole world's wet
And all my drowning will make way more sense
There ain't no better word for it

I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It's all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

Sample comments about this video

"they really had to pick the most emotionally devastating artist for the most emotionally devastating story 😭"

"2:00 “No one’s voice is ever really heard until the whole words screaming it” 😭 love how it symbolizes the rebellion, Lenore’s voice was finally heard with Katniss and the Rebels!"

"“show up unannounced in the places that you knew” sounds like lenore dove haunting haymitch in every sunrise on the reaping AND lucy gray + sejanus haunting snow in every year of the hunger games :,)"

""I got time i never planned to have" and its haymitch knowing he is gonna die to save all his loved ones but alas"

"“I have been feeling like a winged clip bird” took me back. Haymitch was supposed to be the mockingjay and everything was taken from him- preventing him from wanting to feel anything towards the games until Katniss and Peeta. (I know it’s kinda an obvious connection but I thought it was a really beautiful one.)"

"I love the metaphor of faces and destiny, like in lighthouse "you were born with a face made for a missing sign" and now "I was born with someone else's face""

"noah kahan punched me in the face at 9pm on a thursday 🐞🌧️"

""No one's voice is ever really heard until the whole world's screaming it" Oh Noah was feeling the spirit of the mockingjay with this one"

"olivia and now noah gosh the hunger games franchise loves us"

"Envisioning the screen fading out and this coming on in the movie theater. So many goosebumps."
