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 |
