Jaime’s Song Lyrics
It's not me you're talking to
Gently dancing in my room
Through the light beam arc
I'm all stops and starts
I'm all space and stars
I'm a brilliant machine
Composed of softer things
Compression ache
Scale bends and sways
Another nova on the way
Though the constant feels constant I'm breaking up
The choices I make will all fade to dust
While the melody's shifting, I'm waking up
I remember, I remember what I thought I was
It's not me you're watching move
Slam dancing 'round my room
Faster, faster 'til I bloom
Keep on blooming
Keep on blooming
Dragging me down though I keep moving
Keep on blooming
Keep on blooming
Dragging me down though I keep moving
Though the constant is constant I'm breaking up
There's a gloom I'm so tired that I'm too big to stop
While the melody's shifting I'm breaking in
I remember, I remember what I thought I was
Though the constant is constant I'm breaking up
There's a gloom I'm so tired that I'm too big to stop
While the melody's shifting I'm breaking in
I remember, I remember what I thought I was
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
Keep on blooming (keep on blooming)
