| Aly, what is incessantly on your mind?
|
| Well when I was 5, my mama told me that one day we’re all gonna die
|
| Of all places, it was in a fast food joint at night
|
| That left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a knack for existential spinning
|
| out
|
| «How'd that come to pass?» |
| You may ask, as the full moon seemed to leer and loom
|
| Well on the stage of a church in a kiddie pool, she and my dad were born again
|
| I was an audience member beside my little sister and I didn’t understand
|
| And they were my age then, the age that I am
|
| So I guess I get it better now
|
| Oh, the pangs of fear, the fear of being alone
|
| Of dying young or growing old
|
| Before realizing the purpose of your soul
|
| It was with a milkshake in her hand, that my mama mentioned a second coming
|
| That as believers, we would be lifted to a brilliant kingdom in the sky
|
| And I couldn’t fathom a place of light high above the desert night
|
| But as an impassioned follower of my beautiful mother
|
| I put all of my faith in her
|
| You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future
|
| We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers
|
| You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future
|
| We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers
|
| I can see a romance in the reaching, and a tenderness in believing
|
| We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers, yeah, but
|
| Mama, you didn’t inspire a heavenly desire
|
| Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter
|
| Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter
|
| Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter |
