lyrics

I toss and I turn your words like sunbeams, oh they burn
You spit them like stones across my skin and they shook me to my bones
You drew lines cross my chest
Charting a map, and when you disappear
I'll follow you there

You unground me, always, (all ways)
Standing tall we stretch our eyes across this land
Letters find me in the darkness burning brightly
But nothing binds me to these ideas except these ideas

Or this thought
my heart's half hollow, not half dead
the moment you said
Don't confuse this map for where we really are
like I confused your words for shooting stars
You spit them like wishes, all around
now they're flopping like fishes, on the ground
my words hung still in the air like hollow sails, waiting for your breath to take them away from here

I thought of you a mountain, something measured, something to be climbed
But you were more the ocean floor, and when the tide came out, the sun bleached bones of our days patterned on the sand
I thought of you a forest, something to lose myself in, sun streamed paths
But you were more the desert, brilliant to behold,
and you would kill me unaware

You unground me...
