This is the second Twin Peaks song that was written by and features lead vocals from Colin Croom, the keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist/producer who has added to and crafted so much of the sonic textures of the band since his entry in 2015.
[Verse 1]
Can I ever love again?
Can I ever love again?
Can I ever love again like we did in the meadow?
I've been ready for today, you're just a drop or two away
Let my body rise, so you can play tricks with my mind
[Chorus]
I keep thinking too much, you're not thinking enough
(Can you help me? Can you help me?)
You got a funny way of tricking my memories
(Take it from me! Oh, take it from me!)
Cause it only takes my shadow to put me on the floor
(With my lady)
Let the clouds part further little baby and show me what I've waited for
[Verse 2]
As my mind drifts closer to the water
When will you appear?
I've been waiting all day long
For you to come sit over here
[Chorus]
The night work has been keepin' me hollow
(Can you help me? Can you help me?)
Oh yeah, I pray for solace but they're fresh out till tomorrow
(Follow me down! Oh, follow me down!)
You got my place it's as thin as the walls and the ceiling
(Can you help me? Can you help me?)
Ah girl, I live so simple, such a glorified feeling
(Follow me down! Oh, follow me down!)
[Outro]
Cause yes, it's all on time
I hear him weaving through the trees in the wind
As he watches over me and sings
(Yeah it sings!)
Yeah it sings
(Yeah it sings!)
Oh, it's singin
I look up
(I look up!)
All my pain's just brought me closer to fear
(To my fear!)
Give me a couple words to ring in my ear
(In my ear!)
In my ear
(In my ear!)
In my ear
