Clearing

Open up the window Try to let the light out Try to let the curtain float in That way, I can hear the water Pulling on a pathway Calling on the pathway Whispering and passing, shoes rattling And I was thinking I was running And every time I see you I have to pretend I don't You thought that it would help But it's only made us fall apart I'm treading in the water Human in the shadows No longer your shadow Clearing, I know where your light is More or less nothing changes Maybe I’ve been seeing things Cry to yourself with one That are going out of home And can't you see us fading And soon there won't be anyone there It's funny, when you fuck up No one really has to care Sometimes I wish That none of this had happened Let our sad song Be carried out to sea As steady as the water As tender as the evening Where we hurry Down to build a shadow As softly as an echo As solid as a triangle Send a message as you Where everything is walking, there’s a hallway And maybe you were right When you said I'd never been in love How can I explain Why it's safer when I feel alone And what has been done May never be undone So take your sad song And sail into the next life Maybe you were right When you said I'd never been in love How can I explain Why it's safer just to be alone
