lyrics

We're so busy
We're so lazy
Life at once both startling and hazy
Like a lightbulb
In a puddle
A squirming neon-bright muddle

And I'm a lantern
In the night sky
And sometimes I'm scared I won't land right
That I'll float off
In the distance
Or I'll miss you by the slimmest of inches

You say "calm down,
There's no issue,
Just take a few moments to regroup"
If it's really
Just that simple
Then why do my knees always tremble?

But I listen
And I linger
I count off my breaths with my fingers
And I come round
For a while
Enough just to reset the cycle

Til I'm back here
On the kerbside
Of a house that's been locked from the inside
if you're in there
With the door closed
Then damn it I'll climb through the window

Come on, what's on your mind?

I've a daydream
We board an airplane
And land on an island with no name
And with sticks in
The white sand
We'll scrawl every detail of our plans

And we don't stop
Til we're empty
And the tide comes, erases the memory
It's a fiction
We're composing
It's ours and no one else knows it
