lyrics

say something
why don’t you
spell your name out
these taxes make me backflip,
this little one’s mine

even when your little
heart’s a mess and  all us people will forget
you made the same slips as I

when the gold settles at the bottom of the pan
when the red wool stockings make you happy as a clam
you would turn to me and say
all you see is what I am
all you see is what I am

in the water,
we turn to sons and daughters,
waiting patiently for breath,
just a spark in my eye (waiting patiently to begin; just a spark in ones eye),

it takes the memory of something
old and sacred
just to rouse us from our beds
to find the meaning of life

when the sand settles in the bottom of your hands
when the kite catches on a gust of wind
you would turn to me and say
i am waiting to begin
i am waiting to begin

(bridge)

i went to look across this pond
to find my one and only at the dock
i went back home to count my stars
heard/find you laughing just outside my door

play my fortune
and keep all of the earnings
it feels so small that It could creep up
on anyone, at anytime

but my hearts electric
and made of the strongest diamond
and when i’m old enough to fight
I am old enough to die

when the lark turns his head and whistles out his song
when the day comes to an end and i’m putting you to bed
you will turn to me and say
i will see you once again,
i will see you once again
