VERSE ONE:
landscape come to life
from my hazily-woven painting
"in order to care for someone else,
first take care of yourself."
is what i wish someone told me
and your love will overflow breezily
there'll be no need for greed,
no need to be needy
disasters may switch their course,
and lunge towards our way
when hearing the lightest graze of laughter, happy and gay
to hang over our sky, shadows of gray
CHORUS:
but it's chilly this evening, with our hearts soaring in the seas
and our toes in the sand, tickling our feet
we're floating in the skies where there's no place to land
so let's run, run, run,
run far ahead, come with me
let's run run run run far ahead
POST-CHORUS:
i sing along even though i don't know the words
my cracked lips mouth, "it's already summer?"
VERSE TWO:
it's a gift
to feel some fleeting happiness even when it's tired of playing peek-a-boo
eating in silence, mother's food
we only get once in a blue moon
no screens to distract us, or double our mealtimes, it's not the laugh tracks that make me smile (it's you)
slurping of juice, clitter and clatter of spoons
(CHORUS AND POST-CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
show your thanks, show it fast
before it slips from your reach
time sure does pass us all, but don't stuck
on how it was
(CHORUS AND POST-CHORUS)
