Do you think that the echoes will just fade away into nothingness
Like the tide retreating across the beach
Do you think I will ever stop looking for you
My soul searching like a wind over the waves
I broke all the stars into glitter because I wanted to impress you
I wanted to impress myself
And now after it all I'm left lying around in broken stardust
How strange it is to be alone on this path
The light bulb cracked
And the liquid light spilled out, spreading its glow across the room and drifting up towards the ceiling
But it's not the same as when it's inside its glass home
Let me cry a thousand rivers until the rain falls from the sky
Let me whisper a thousand times until I get an answer from the night
The questions pour and tumble out of my lips like a cascade of water over rocks in a stream
And I don't even know where to begin
Why does love feel like lava and the earth feel like a dream
Let me find an answer to the myth and wrap my arms around it
You know above all else I would never let it go
Sometimes a drop of dew drips from the leaves above
And it seems the earth is sighing along with you
I want to be pulled into the symphony
And listen to the whole thing
The heartbeat thumps along and it feels good to take deep breaths
But why is it always the waiting to exhale
It's dawn somewhere
The sunlight glinting for the first time over the tops of the buildings
A new day, a new time
What happens to time when it slips into the funnel
A swirling rainbow whirlpool that surrounds us and whips us all around
Did you slip into my window at night?
And slide into my dreams
Any way for me to not be alone
Sometimes things in real life are written in italics
And sometimes peaches come without pits
Let the sigh of the sea drift over all of us
And pull us into its everlasting hum
Sixteen things split across the fabric of this time
But they slipped away into memory
Can I trace the lines of the cracks across the wood
And wind my way back through
Like the light shining through the frames of a stained glass window
