| Every day I picture things falling down
|
| Landscapes all tossed around
|
| In cities, I start to drown
|
| But when I stop to push the fear out of me
|
| Come steady my shaking knees
|
| And drag the roots out to sea
|
| And it’s hard to be steeped in your gaze
|
| You’re always drinking me, I have no place
|
| To be awkward and silent
|
| Spoil your tongue with my silence
|
| My flavor ripens inside this
|
| There is no love without trying
|
| There is no easy way, when I
|
| Crane my neck to kiss your head, I know
|
| That there is something that I can rely on
|
| And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew
|
| It’s some kind of future that I can be sure of
|
| Oh, I’m just breathing air
|
| Contracts on everything
|
| Reluctant and measuring
|
| The food that we choose to bring
|
| But I can trace an invisible piece of string
|
| Connects between you and me
|
| Like symbols of property
|
| Oh, when I recognize, cut from a cloth
|
| Always solid and breathing
|
| You and I retract like swans
|
| Always advance and receding
|
| Believe in something worth eating
|
| Shared love is something like feeding
|
| There is no trust without meaning
|
| There is no easy way, when I
|
| Crane my neck to kiss your head, I know
|
| That there is something that I can rely on
|
| And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew
|
| It’s some kind of future that I can be sure of
|
| And I wonder why there is no choice in the things that we hear
|
| We hear our lives inside these sounds
|
| There’s nothing good on the radio
|
| There’s never anything good on
|
| There’s never anything good on
|
| There’s nothing good on the radio
|
| There’s never anything, so I stop to sing
|
| And these things come rushing from behind
|
| Life is changing so fast, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it
|
| But when I crane my neck to kiss your head, I know
|
| That there is something that I can rely on
|
| And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew
|
| It’s some kind of future that I can be sure of
|
| Because I love you, because I love you
|
| Because I love you, because I love you |
