lyrics

There's something moving in my bed
There's something pulling on the thread
Too many words were left unsaid
Now I'm living with the dread
Of what'll happen next
All of the thoughts swim in my head
Bob up and down until their dead
But then I close my eyes for seconds
Only seconds, now I tell you
And they come alive again

But you can't turn your back on the moment
You mustn't only speak, no, you must show it
I'm terrified I'll lose my mind or blow it
That I'll miss it and I'll never even know it

I can't stand up but won't sit down
So I'll just lay here on the ground
And contemplate the universe
Of the blessing and the curse that is the human condition
Fool me once or fool me twice
I'll free the cats and hide the mice
I'm digging with a butter knife to reach the meaning in this life
But all I'm finding is jelly

But you can't turn your back on the moment
You mustn't only speak, no, you must show it
I'm terrified I'll lose my mind or blow it
That I'll miss it and I'll never even know it

Don't lose me now
Unfurl your brow
Some way some how
You've gotta hear the words I'm sayin'
Sewing hopes that sit decayin'
Open up and let me in
Little pig, I see your grin!
I'll huff and I'll puff until I win your trust
And I won't even blow your house down
No

But you can't turn your back on the moment
You mustn't only speak, no, you must show it
I'm terrified I'll lose my mind or blow it
That I'll miss it and I'll never even know it
