Lyrics:

Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow

Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
Or so the story goes
Color the era
Film it as historical

My mile could not pump the plumb
In my arbor 'till my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia
Lump sum

All at once rushing from the sump-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm

  • This is a beautiful video . Perfect work, the idea to work with photographs is way better than just film the whole story...

    Love it

  • @Acep0 thank you! I read nice comments like this every once in a while when I'm feeling unhappy or uninspired and it really helps me out.

  • What version of Lump Sum is this? Did Justin really sing this or did you just speed up the original?

  • @findingnvrland21 this is the original from For Emma, it's not sped up.

  • There have been so many times where I just wanted to give up on life.. This video always makes me think of good thoughts.. I love it. <3 Thanks for the inspiration to keep moving on.

  • @kellieann123
