Everything is Happening Today

I wake up
My eyes are playing tricks on me
And through the dust
So much of my life has already come to be

So I watch the sun go up
And I watch the sun go down
And the horizon hovering like a missing piece
That can never be found

And as the seasons lie in wait
Like a secret you already know
Winter is behind us now
It is ahead of us also

And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today

And I believe
That you could love me
Just because
But I remain as fragile as I ever was

So if here is really there
And if you are really mine
My fear, it is a circle
My joy, it is the infinite line

But the limits of words were with us
Since we learned to talk
So I give my longing a name
And I hold its hand and take a walk

And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today
