What It Becomes

What It Becomes
What is good, if good feels worse
What is good, if good always hurts
One step closer and you’re cursed
One step closer and I become unsure
What it becomes and then
What it becomes
What is right, if right feels tangled up
What is right, if alright feels never quite long enough
One time is all it takes and then its closer to the edge again
One time is all it takes to get me closer to the door again
One time is all it takes to get me back to the walls again
What it becomes and then
What it becomes
One time is all it takes to get me down onto the ground
One time is all it takes to get my feet back around
One time is all it would take
One time is all it would take
What it becomes and then
What it becomes
Tell me if I find it
How will I know
Tell me if I get there
How to stay gone
Tell me if I find it
How will I know
Tell me if I get there
How I can stay gone

Give It All Back
04:08

Oh it happened so fast
A finger dropped onto a map
Oh it happened so fast
The single drop that filled the bath
Oh I'd give it back
Year after year all the choices we had
I'd give it back
The sense that since hasn't come back
White light that ties me to you
Across this body and the continents too
I shouldn't have tried to imagine you
While I still feel you, while I still feel you
Do you remember
The way my thighs trembled
The way I wouldn't look away
The way I held your gaze
The way I asked you to stay
Do you remember
The way my mouth tasted
The way I held your face
Oh all I have since bitten
All I have since seen
I would give it all back
If to forgive meant to forget that
I would give it all back
If to forgive meant to forget that
But for the first time in my life
I can see the sky
I lay in my bed at night
And let the moon beat down on me
I let the moon beat down on me
And I would give it all back
If to forgive meant to forget that
I would give it all back
If to forgive meant to forget that
But for the first time in my life
I can see the sky
I lay in my bed at night
And let the moon beat down on me
I let the moon beat down on me

The Flood
03:31

If I could just swim through the flood
If I could just call out your name
If I could just see you once more
If I could just see you again
I can't even say what it was
I can't even say what it became
I can't even see where you are
I can't even see what you became
Remember when you were the one
Who held me when I felt scared
Remember when we soared up above
The tops of the palm trees and then
If I could just swim through the flood
If I could just call out your name
If I could just see you once more
Drown in the games that we played
To see you once more
Face to face
To see you once more
Face to face
I would have crawled up on anything
I would have laid down in anything
I would have jumped off of anything
I would have choked up on anything
Everything that I needed
Everything that I conceded
I would have climbed up on anything
I would have laid down in anything
I would have given up on anything
I would have choked up on anything
If I could just swim through the flood
If I could just call out your name

The Way
02:55
|
|||
You'll go your way
Will the path be clearer
When and if you come
Close to what you fear
Mirror in the sun
You know the way
Nothing lasts forever
That is what you thought
When and if you come back
I will be gone
I'll go my way
I have been in pastures
Green beyond my knees
Nothing to hold onto
My arms out in the breeze
I know my way
Wanted to be
Mother of your child
The daughter here is me
Cradled in new light
So watch me now
Ride out
So watch me now
Ride out

Better
03:27

If you feel that way
There's nothing wrong with it
If you feel that way
There's nothing wrong with this
Since you went away
The feelings had a shift
Since you went away
There has been a shift
If you feel that way
There's nothing wrong with it
If you feel that way
There's nothing I can do
Oh to make you feel that way
Make you feel better
Oh to make you feel that way
Make you feel better
Since you went away
There's nothing I can't do
Since you went away
There's nothing I won't do
Oh I am feeling better better better
I am feeling better better better
If you feel that way
There's nothing I can do
If you feel that way
There's nothing I can do
I never wanted to change you
It was you, always changing on me
Well now I am feeling better, better, better
Now I am feeling better, better, better

Column vs. Line
03:31
|

There's nothing left to make you want me
Look for something in that California sunset
A piece of us you must have seen past
To let you walk away again
Every chance I get
I'll let this love out
Every time I start to think
You're still mine
Look for reasons
In the strength of the lines
Look for something
In that California sunset
Every time I think you'll come back running
Look up and let the darkness remind me
There's nothing here to make you want me
After all, I did just what you asked
Every chance I get
I'll let this love out
Every time I start to think
You're still mine
Look for reasons
In the thrill of the lines
Look for something
In that California sunset
What about it wasn't enough
It took some faith to build it up
What about it wasn't enough
I'll find a way to give you up
I'll find a way to give you up
Every chance I get
I'll let this love out
Every time I start to think
You're still mine
Look for reasons
In the strength of the lines
Look for something
In that California sunset
Look for something in that California sunset
