about

You know I almost folded over you
said what's the world without my girl inside it
I know that there are other points of view
but how can I see them when I'm folded over the bar

See space stretching out so far
how many people are standing at this bar?
People get so angry in July
I don't know why

The dove was faintly lined with chalk
nearly a complete ghost
seconds bathing in the light
body swept through the leaf pile
I don't know why

The party's over
the webs are spreading
your eyes are bending in the light

it's a 3d movie on the projector
in the deep space 9
these are the colors

vacation is a lie
let's go out to the place
where the people are rebuilding
feel it go
you can try, you can try
in every direction you can try
you should try it

years and years of afternoons
light dancing daftly on the lids
waiting for the soul to breach
for seconds bathing in the light
the return to the deep
it's a question

do you know I almost folded over you
I said what's the world without my girl inside it

I'm not hurting like that again
life was too good with you to believe this
feeling would be everlasting
I'm an animal with blood
my muscles remembering
walking through the pain
without feeling
maybe you'll hate me
maybe you'll hurt me
maybe you'll help me grow

There was day I couldn't get up from the floor
I couldn't take anymore
So I went to my friend's apartment
and we smoked
and I ran out into the rain
I stayed in my wet clothes all day

I saw a dove
I saw another dove in the mirror
I saw a candle lit
I saw it flickering
Is that me? Is that me?

People get so angry in July
I don't know why
I keep asking myself that same thing
baby, baby, baby, baby, baby calm down

You know when a bird takes off
it's just falling in reverse
