First Aid Kit - Heavy Storm lyrics

I wish I could believe in something bigger More than these trees, these winds, these oceans I wish I could believe what they tell me I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city Where he doesn't have to be himself He used to play an un-tuned guitar While he sang about me and he sung about the stars I used to dream about another time And now it's all clear that's the only time I wish would come back I wish I could hold on a little longer Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger I wish I could believe what they taught me I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph And the picture that appeared, well it took me back to the time When she was around She used to play that old mandolin And the moon and the sea invited her in I wish that I had told her by then But she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back A new day awaits me I could be gone today A new day awaits me We could be here to stay We used to wait for our heavy storms To take us away while something new would form I wish that I could have known by then We all know now that we're never getting back to those times
