See You On the Mountain

by Ryan Sweezey

/

lyrics

I wonder if you're near
I heard you were headed here
But that ain't why I came
It's just a bit of chance
I've got a slow and steady heart
And you've got a head start
So it's not likely that
I'll even catch a glance

When you reach the top
You're not the kind to stop
You'll take a new trail
And descend the other side
Or maybe you will turn around
And make your way back down
And somewhere along the way
Our paths will collide

But I won't hold my breath for that
I'll never make it if I do
The air is far too thin up here
To waste any more on you
I am only taking in the view
But maybe I'll see you on the mountain

The journey's gone okay
Still I should pick up the pace
Somehow I'm troubled by
These bright and sunny skies
I'm prepared for rain
Because the weather it could change
Without warning
And there's nowhere to hide

You can share my shelter
If you find yourself in need
But please, I'm begging you
Don't expect too much of me
I am only lost within the trees
But maybe I'll see you on the mountain

I knew I could use me a getaway
Something to distract me
From the memory of your face
But despite my best intentions
You always find a way
To creep into my daydreams just the same

I've made it back to base
And you're gone without a trace
There's pink on the horizon
And I am black and blue
I'm weary to the bone
And it's time to head home
Today was hard work
But I've made it through

I'm grateful for the fresh air
The reminder of the good
That though the path was dark sometimes
I've made it through the woods
I am finally getting back to where I should
Maybe it's best that I didn't see you on the mountain

I am only human
Maybe it's best that I didn't see you on the mountain
