lyrics

Perspective

I knew you were leaving by the sigh inside your breathing
When your eyes looked in mine
From August to December every month the world had ended
And your heart turned white and saved my life

Change was on my shoulder saying “Baby you look older”
On a one way track and you can’t go back
Life is easy when you are not looking for adventure
With the window panes closed to keep me safe

oh, you fade away
Teach me to be brave

Deep inside the garden my heart was breaking harder than the ground below
I will throw away the shovel and the spade, let the witch grass grow
This earth is full of springs that will never be
Broken up from the love underneath

You never spoke a word but every hope I overheard
It was in your cry and I held on tight
The mountains moved to rise that I knew you would never climb
the heights that stop the sky and turn the day to night

I drifted along for my paycheck and a song
When I had time to write and rhyme
Reality’s subjective and nothing’s in perspective
when fear and dread hold up your head.

(Chorus)

Oh this face can glow, but here you’ll never see it
And this weight can float, but here you won’t believe it
