lyrics

On the day the snow was falling to Mountains and Ruins
The coldest I had ever felt before
Sebastian was her name and she was passing through to somewhere
A refugee of the Suburban War

I told her she could stay awhile
To warm her bones beside the fire
I told her she could stay awhile
And all my friends would try to keep her warm

The person that I need, the one I always meant to be
Was summarized in her blue eyes
She'll always be a friend, the one I look to in the end
From sunset to the new sunrise

On the day the sun was shining upon her reflection
The final day we spent down by the sea
I looked into her eyes, and then I felt the connection
Between the Saint Sebastian and me

I could have thrown away my life
And had my lasting moment there that night
But I knew it wasn't right, and so did she

The person I adored, the one who made me live for more
Who laughed at me behind blue eyes
She'll always be a friend, and that's all right in the end
From sunset to the new sunrise

On the day Sebastian called us to say she was leaving
We clearly didn't understand a thing
We wanted her to stay and be a member of the chorus
But Sebastian had a different song to sing
