Wish I was, wish I knew
how to get close to you
I imagine the starry sky
by the dawn's early light
I can see in your eyes
see the stars as satellites
I go out into the night
when I need to feel your eyes
field of wheat, mountain top
in the name, name of god
even if, if I knew
how to get close to you
And when I awake
the darkness of my mind
I have to find the place
I have to get it right
When I am almost lost
book of Christ, Leaves of Grass
at the top of the trees
there you felt close to me
is it plain as you and me
or is it from, from a dream
I was moved by the sound
saved a wretch, now am found
lost my ear, lost my way
I scared you, you away

New Skin
04:03

Grab what you can
coat in one hand
all you need to
know is how to
Now that you've got all you need from me
I'm changing into someone you want me to be
for you but now I disappear
to hide myself in all the coming leaves you
leaves you all alone to fight the coming spring
Change my direction
I change my affliction
I'm not even missing
I'll be wishing
I change my affections
I change my afflictions
I'm changing
Stupid bodies hold us in
I need a new skin

Waves

And the people are crashing like waves
And your ship it is sailing away
Used to meet you on the corner
Used to ride the city like the sea
No sound no lights no traffic cars
Just the space between you and me
But you
And the people are crashing like waves
And your ship it is sailing away
One day my heart
Stopped beating for you
Somewhere in between
The engine fell right through
And the people are crashing like waves
And your ship it is sailing away

Catch

How do I repay you
For all you gave me
I don't know, I don't know
Us five together
A circle of light
Miracle 34th
Unclear as to why
The reason I met you
Now I know, now I know
I walk this city
To get my fill
In my heart, in my heart
I'm trying to catch all I can hold onto
I'm trying to catch all I can hold onto
I'm trying to wrap my arms around it
I'm trying to feel all I can hold onto
Ten years to climb
These steps to feel
A day at the beach
Forgiveness in time
The power behind
Your name on my phone
A round trip train ride
Is all I need
To balance my book
My shadow beside me
My winter companion
In the wind and the sun
I'm trying to catch all I can hold onto
I'm trying to catch all I can hold onto
I'm trying to wrap my arms around it
I'm trying to feel all I can hold onto

Sequence of Rebirth
04:00
|
|||
|
There's a sequence of rebirth that I need to be a part of
I've been feeling for some time a displacement where my heart was
like the setting of the sun when the day is almost done
I'll come back to myself
Like a wheel on a bicycle I need motion to find balance
I need to fight my habit of pushing emotions into compartments
My fears keep piling on until I can hardly stand
but I'll keep on keeping on
