lyrics

We heard the birds sing for the first time in a long while,
and the sun dusts off the insides of my eyes.
The lilac locks knock on my second story window,
and it's all pure until the winter splinters it the same.

I watched the sunrise through curtains drawn and the stark pastel colors gently hit your light skin in the dark-
and it's all I want it to be, what else could I be expecting?
You and I will do this dance daily,

until we fold into our next shapes,
and the sound
formulates our fates,
once our feet touch the ground.

I'm not scared, but I'm not waiting
for someone to notice I live in a tidal wave.
I know I spend all my time away;
I'm grounded still, but I like the taste
of every direction being one to take.

I have this perception of some lines drawn in the sand,
complex enough and warm to the touch- to assume they're drawn by hand.
But, one thing I don't see is footprints pressed in neatly,
so who the hell is playing in our world,

Spelling out these nonsense words by the lake
in the dirt, just for fun?
Do that dance for it's own sake,
then modulate back to one.

I'm not scared, but I'm not waiting
for someone to notice I live in a tidal wave.
I know I spend all my time away;
I'm grounded still, but I like the taste
of every direction being one to take.
