When I think of you
I remember I forgot how to forget
It's growing in my mind
This feeling like the best is better yet
And we don't know what we've lost
Losing ourselves to the snow
And we don't know what we've got
When we refuse to let it go.

The sprinkler on the lawn
Is making rainbows where it cools the summer sun
I'm sitting on my porch
Pretend my grass is going to grow back when it' gone
And we don't know what we've paved
In unhappier concrete
And we don't know what's been saved
What is hidden in the seeds.

If I decide it's true
Then I'm leaving for a place where I belong
If I go then I'll be wrong
The world is bigger than I deserve

They were all of them framed
In the gold of darkness' birth
Hung on a moment's wall
Painted by the synthetic flash
Of a machine turning chemicals
Into a ragged handfull of emotions
For anyone who would glance back.

Every hour used to come to me
Regular as a blink
But now each second hangs around
Far to long to ever think
Linking me to memory
Keeping change the same
I kept myself inside the eye
But the storm begins again.

Please fix that leaky tap
Dangling in the bathroom
You watch and will the water down
Rinsing cleanness through the plughole
Till it's gone like money

You could be forgiven for falling in love
If it weren't the unforgivable sin
But crossed stars and fingers
Won't stop this tide
From sucking the sand out under you.

Take only what you need from my weakness
I hope you find the cure to wasting away
In the inevitible salvation of time

that thing
what slipps a little at the corners
and relieves itself of your grasp
that thing
you know that thing
hold onto it
