lyrics

I know that it’s not right to want for something so outside
I know that can try to get just one thing right inside
when all you have that makes you feel alive
can show you how it feels to die
I know that I will fight to keep my own voice in my sight

steering from collision
big crash and there’s your answer
(little girl)
panoramic vision
big flash and you don’t look so tall anymore

the color of the sky reminds me of the way you cried
I remember the one that you keep locked up deep inside
whatever makes you feel alright
if you need the distance just to hide
but the bluing of the sky reminds me of your saddest eyes

as the season steals you
I swear that I don’t need you
(anymore)
I’ll let my memory feel you
make my body let you go—now go

remember: gait and carriage
use your language well
we make changes based on what we sell
review your options: you can go back home
or stay on with the rest, unfamed, unknown
either way, just be ready when it comes to you

this house you sleep in, the wooden frame you trust
the lungs you breathe in, so carefree without cost
do you always wake up well?
you never lie down lost?
this faith you keep with, do you ever . . .
do you ever doubt out loud?

and if I double-dare you, will you let this scare you?
and if I stare straight at you, can you look at me too?
and if I send this to you, does it ever reach you?
and do the words “I love you” put me far behind or with you?

gait and carriage
use your language well
they make changes based on what they sell
review your options: you can go back home
or stay on with the rest, unfamed, unknown
either way, just be ready when it comes to you
to you
