lyrics

Wend your way through me,
with a call from my father
and the fear you leave.

Set me wandering,
In the blush of the morning
and the weight to keep

some thought of longing, waiting for the sun.
You can keep and shelter.

If I could have known,
Would I bend?
To get you back from the side of my head, and
I never thought to wonder if I'd
thank god that this is my picture,
thank god you said whatever's on your mind.

Were you more to me
than the lake, and the harbor
and the tallest trees?

Thoughts we wouldn’t speak,
spool on the table
and slips beneath.

You kept me longing, waiting for the sun.
You had me waiting, upwards.

You said as though I was gone.
By the time you said it, I wait until the dawn.

The lake bowed down by the weight of your love and
rushed out into the corners of the
rooms packed with all our pictures,
please god you wait in the flood.
Thank god for all this fiction.
Thank god you needed my song.
Thank god, another one, another one,
tell me know now you got, you wanted when you’re gone.

Send me back from the side of my head, and
I never thought to wonder if I'd
thank god that this is my picture, and
thank god you said whatever's on your mind.
