lyrics

With one hand fleeting upward to keep me sane,
the other has started to block this sun-rain.
I’m willing to wait this one out because something tells me that this is concrete,
but god that sun is pouring down on this new formed cracked concrete.
The primroses are over and I blame you.
Now that it’s colder to hold her my confusion’s renewed.
It only seems right to tell you when I need it too.
You seem to perceive the wrong take on me and I you.
Bridge may ice in cold weather and it’s getting there.
Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
These must lies; I must be blind because I swear that I’ve gone much further.
Black swirl of clouds in my rear-view mirror, though the windshield is as clear as when I’m near her.
There is a sad violin sounding over me until the strings all break in harmony.
The primroses are over and I’ll tell you:
Let’s start from chapter one, page one; to start anew.
This sudden angst has got me visualizing no magic hour this will turn into.
You seem to perceive the wrong take on me and I you.
