Chasms Lyrics
You were my favourite view
And then something changed
As things always do
We're chasms at close range
Surfaces not set in stone
But half-crystallized
A snapshot of snowswept ice
A fleeting disguise
But night leaves an open window
And in this dream
No hearts can break
So turn the lights out
And come stargaze
I'll be
By your side
When you crack and split at the ridge
We'll meet at the wild end
Of the washed out bridge
You'll be my favourite view
Mine alone
Let's never change
For anyone
And then something changed
As things always do
We're chasms at close range
Surfaces not set in stone
But half-crystallized
A snapshot of snowswept ice
A fleeting disguise
But night leaves an open window
And in this dream
No hearts can break
So turn the lights out
And come stargaze
I'll be
By your side
When you crack and split at the ridge
We'll meet at the wild end
Of the washed out bridge
You'll be my favourite view
Mine alone
Let's never change
For anyone

This song is about a breakup:
"You were my favourite view And then something changed As things always do We're chasms at close range"
He used to meet his significant one, and love was there, but something went wrong and time took it's toll, so they parted their ways.
"Surfaces not set in stone But half-crystallized A snapshot of snowswept ice A fleeting disguise"
It's about how their relationship is vulnerable, fragile and fugacious.
"But night leaves an open window And in this dream No hearts can break So turn the lights out And come stargaze I'll be By your side When you crack and split at the ridge We'll meet at the wild end Of the washed out bridge"
He'll dream about her, do what he couldn't do in real life, and he'll be with her until he ceases loving her. They'll eventually leave each other, and he'll go back to real life
"You'll be my favourite view Mine alone Let's never change For anyone"
What they'll had was unique, and she will be precious to him, even after getting over it. And then, he asks her to never change, it doesn't matter whoever will be part of her life from now on.
