lyrics

sometimes i don't believe it when you're here
i feel this relief when you are near
like rainy fields you radiate a scent

you

feels like i could speak with you for days
though nonchalant i learn so many things
and i wish i could fill in all the blanks

and just say

that's why you're the one to take my breath
as i come back from weeks of summers death
our philosophies are not contrived of youth

they're true

a branch has snapped but i don't wanna talk
about it now
my crystal ball has cracked
the vultures flap their wings up and down

as they fly accelerate their pace
up in the sky
their circle forms a portal into space
through a ring of light

and though i'm not sure what it's supposed to mean
i'll be alright
as fireworks shoot out from inside me
into the night

i'll tell you all about it when you're back
until that time i'll try to mend the crack
and i wish i could buff out every scratch

i
