[Verse 1]
I went down an old path, all the way back
In the late summer, long grass
You, in the sunset made you a silhouette
Light-leaks and vignettes in a field I cannot forget
I felt it with my bare feet, I felt it in my soles
Running free, running to you, back-lit on the mower
You turn to wave me over
Sunlight in my eyes and a wall of grass on either side
I see you laughing, but all I hear is the engine
You made a maze, but I'm small
And I can only see the walls
And little gnats and bits of grass
Floating upwards in your path
A golden snowfall in reverse
[Refrain]
And you made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds
You made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds
[Verse 2]
My speckled legs collected dew
Just trying to keep up with you
And years after we left that place
I'm older, but I feel the same
Just running through a bigger maze
Catching glimpses of your face
Always turning 'round the bend
In and out of sight again
This new kind of hide-and-seek
Feels more like a tragedy
Grow my soul, grow it tall
I'll see over all these winding walls
Laugh with you from way up there
At a path that don't go anywhere
In all our pointless glory
In our never-ending story
[Refrain]
And you made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
[Bridge]
I went down an old path, all the way back
I went down an old path, all the way back
I went down an old path, all the way back
I went down an old path, all the way back
Grow my soul, grow it tall
Oh, grow my soul, grow it tall
Grow my soul, grow it tall
Oh, grow my soul, grow it tall
I'll see over these winding walls
And laugh with you from way up there
At a path that don't go anywhere
In all our pointless glory
In our never-ending story
[Chorus]
And you made a labyrinth in the means, a labyrinth in the means
You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
