lyrics

Sometimes the space between words
Can haunt you like a drowning
And sometimes in the spaces you'll find
You can finally breathe

The numbers you write in your book
They all add up to nothing
That weapon you brandish in fear
You can permanently sheathe

Fly, fly like the wind
Fall to the Earth
Lay in the grass
Bury your dead

Drift on a wave
Collapse in despair
Float through a dream
Disappoint your enemies

Sometimes the space between years
Can add up to nothing
And sometimes in the spaces you’ll find
You have no room to breathe

Those equations and figures you draw
Still hurt you when you’re sleeping
Like a knife in your side, like a baby
Who’s starting to teethe

Fly, fly like the wind
Fall to the Earth
Lay in the grass
Bury your dead

Drift on a wave
Collapse in despair
Float through a dream
Disappoint your enemies

Sometimes the space between lips
Can hold an eternity
And sometimes in the spaces I’ll slip
And disappear in the stream

Fly, fly like the wind
Fall to the Earth
Lay in the grass
Bury your dead

Drift on a wave
Collapse in despair
Float through a dream
Disappoint your enemies
