lyrics
It’s a tall kind of love
Built on top of a boulder
With the heavy horizon coming down on our shoulders
Touch the ground where we stand
Tell the chorus to answer
Oooh let go
You see me as a seesaw
Tipping the extremes
Sometimes suspended, swayed by a chance wind
A fickle girl, a changing tongue
Sometimes I miss all at once
Full body, desperately
Everyone I have ever loved
Splayed out like a starfish
Immobile, this love
Is a cold clay
I’m not saying it’s the truth
It goes something like that
Well a man’s pain flattens the way
When it hollers down the mountain
With the grace of a giant
And I know that you’re scared of the growing silence
Oooh, seams coming undone
I saw you clinging to some
Doing so low that I saw double
In the blinding sun
Who saw? Who knows?
It’s true I might find solace in an empty room
But at least my eyes are open
I’ll stare straight into its belly
Baby you’re talking in circles and the curves make me dizzy
