Clearing

Open up the window
Try to let the light out
Try to let the curtain float in
That way, I can hear the water

Pulling on a pathway
Calling on the pathway
Whispering and passing, shoes rattling
And I was thinking I was running

And every time I see you
I have to pretend I don't
You thought that it would help
But it's only made us fall apart

I'm treading in the water
Human in the shadows
No longer your shadow
Clearing, I know where your light is

More or less nothing changes
Maybe I’ve been seeing things
Cry to yourself with one
That are going out of home

And can't you see us fading
And soon there won't be anyone there
It's funny, when you fuck up
No one really has to care

Sometimes I wish
That none of this had happened
Let our sad song
Be carried out to sea

As steady as the water
As tender as the evening
Where we hurry
Down to build a shadow

As softly as an echo
As solid as a triangle
Send a message as you
Where everything is walking, there’s a hallway

And maybe you were right
When you said I'd never been in love
How can I explain
Why it's safer when I feel alone

And what has been done
May never be undone
So take your sad song
And sail into the next life

Maybe you were right
When you said I'd never been in love
How can I explain
Why it's safer just to be alone
