lyrics

Restless leg all a-flutter
But what can I do but duck and run for cover
Instead of talking to you?
And if we’re hiding, well how come I can’t just close the door?
Reaching out in all directions, like a man o’ war
And if our story’s incomplete
Well, at least this might bring you peace

Even though our days relapse
I can see how they react
Weaving slowly through our past
And it’s too late to take it back

Tenderer than a mother and sharp as a blade
There’s nothing left to discover
So what’s there to say?
Go sweep those highlights to the side
By your thoughts and prayers
And clear a path toward the heavens
And maybe I’ll meet you there
Go leave our story incomplete
If that’s really what you need

Like skydiving without a parachute
(But can’t we fly?)
The horizon slips in and out of view
(But it’s still bright)
It’s not quite where we were supposed to be
(Still it feels right)
But I’m fighting to keep you close to me
(God knows I tried)
