[Verse 1] If life is one long goodbye, let's exit French Leave the clothes to hang dry till God knows when Wanna live in the spirals, when you make your eggs Stir around in motion, still Drop a penny to the bottom and wish them well If time moves backwards, reverse ourselves Through water, it's over again A song for our daughter and all of her friends We're not the cause, we're her effect [Pre-Chorus] No light, no rush, no words to define No translation after you type But I get confused though the sentiment sticks It's unaccountable, some things can't be martialled into lines A living, breathing, animated grace Which offers quiet when my thoughts start to race And turns back around to hide its face This countenance sheds a layer, unaware [Chorus] The seeing wasn't in the act itself Misleading, it held you up Still shaking, an apparition or a curse It's got you right where it wants In circles, spinning like a longing thought Of something you wish would come to being Manifested as a light worth leaving on all night [Verse 2] Been shaving wrong my whole life You asked if my father didn't raise me right And smiled like a child with a brand-new bike Oh, Cassandra, Cassie, Cass Drop a syllable to help her relax 'Cause loving is what speaking can't [Pre-Chorus] No lip could move, a quivering worm An expression that's hard to discern But I get uptight when they question our worth It's uncountable, some things can't be martialled into rows And weighed, labelled, named as strife I had a vision where you were my wife And they all laughed, they were probably right It was monomania, alright [Chorus] The seeing wasn't in the act itself Misleading, it held you up (It held you up) Still shaking, an apparition or a curse It's got you right where it wants In circles, spinning like a longing thought Of something you wish would come to being (You wish would come) Manifested as a light worth leaving on all night (Light worth leaving) [Outro] Is it bright out? Is it bright out? Let the light allow (Let the light allow) Time, slow down when you're around Let the light allow (Let the light allow) Is it bright out? Is it bright out? Let the light allow (Let the light allow) Time, slow down when you're around Let the light allow (Let the light allow)
