The Humming

[Verse]

You were trying to tell me something I could not relate

Language is the lover′s problem, listening is pain

Everything is open, baby, everything is safe

Someday, when we're older, I′ll remember

Summer on the roof, the apples falling from the tree

Reaching for each other in confused eternity

Reverence and wonder, emptiness and need

Someday, when we're older, I'll do better

And watching you becoming everything you will become

I just want to live inside the realness of it all

Hold you ′til you know you are the reason I know love

Someday, when we′re older, I will tell you

Everything I learned about the rain from watching you

Every way I thought I couldn't change until you moved

Every hour I spent just trying to kiss some kind of truth

Someday, when we′re older, I will linger

Over all the moments of an ordinary life

Orange moon so low, we had to stop and rub our eyes

I was trying to tell you, but I couldn't find the words

Someday, when we′re older, sitting quiet

Everything will spread out like a history of love

Cinema unfolding in the wake of us

What if that bright humming is all there ever was?

Baby, tell me something, I can hear it

[Outro]

Hey, love

I'm just in my hotel

Sitting here, I′m thinking about you

Okay, bye
