The birds outside your window are perched upon a thin rope
Are we hoping against hope?
Only God & our spirits know
The black rock of a mountain
A path that opens in the woods
It takes us to a faraway place
Farther than we thought we could go
If the flash flood of my heart could drown out all your fears
If the rushing of the water could wash away your tears
The doubt that lies within me
Well it couldn't fill a thimble
I can almost hear you tell me that you wish it was that simple
Panic & a tremble when I'm reaching for your number
Can you feel it's almost summer & I need you more than ever
I thought I don't deserve forgiveness
Your touch has changed what I expect
You're all that I want in this life
You're all that I want in the next

We Are Made Of Stars

Let your fingers trace the air and send an arrow through the night
A cool summer wind rushing through your hair
You say it's straighter than you'd like
The stutter of an engine
Your hand up to my singing
I see an early spark that keeps my heart from beating
Looking out for branches
They miss your face by inches
You call out to the dark but do you ever get an answer
A single, silent prayer for wisdom to arise
There's magic everywhere
A million wishes in our eyes
Gretchen Lohse is singing
Of the wild things that we are
Your voice in my head ringing
"We are made of stars"
There are nights I get so weak
You call me baby in your sleep
And you're so much bigger & smarter & stronger than I would ever be
I hope you've found a home

It's the hardest thing to keep yourself together
When the simplest things take forever
Attraction too obvious to mention
An outcome that's never in question
Not afraid that I need this too much
Not afraid that it's never enough
A star's worth of atmosphere & dust
Pieces that fit when we touch
Is it better than anything else
Than any way that you could say yourself
Than anything that you've ever felt
When I hold you in the dark
And all I can feel is your heart
I'd rather be blind in the night
Than be lost without you in the light

Closure's Only Closer
01:42

I still punch the steering wheel when I think of you
I'm still sorry for the things that I put you through
Do you hate yourself for dreaming of a life with me
Are you happier that now you've found you're finally free
I guess it doesn't really matter anymore
Closure's only closer when you close the door
I used to think you were but you're not the answer I was waiting for
I was floating past you in an underwater dream
I thought that I was drowning, found that I could breathe
I lost you through the shimmer & the silhouettes
I said that I would follow but I never did
I guess it doesn't really matter anymore
Closure's only closer when you close the door
I used to wish you were but you're not the answer I was waiting for
