lyrics

Okay, so, I grab her hand as soon as I see her look down the trail
A moment of curiosity is all the permission I need
We both know that I see what she sees
We don’t need to speak

A slow stepping medley
I pull her
She pulls me
Now we’re doing one of those forced runs
Down the hill
Surprisingly
She doesn’t break free
She can see that I am happy
I make it clear
I’m skipping cheerfully

I can be honest,
She hasn’t looked great lately
Doesn’t make eye contact
You know, one of those
Kinda looks down
Like she’s so interested in her toes
I know where she goes though
And the retreat isn’t much better
She said it’ll be okay
We just gotta keep it together

I’ve wanted to say out loud
What a trap her mind has been
But mostly I can’t tell where
She ends and I begin
We both go on - trawling along
pretending this all makes sense

In this world, we stay crazy
And she thinks it's unforgivable
When she’s angry,
I think she hates me
Like clockwork
So predictable
I’m happy I’m here today though
She was wrong
That’s forgivable.

We’re at a crossroads
And, I like it
Cuz its pivotal

We reach the bottom of the path
To find a river of sludge
Instantly promising to be an alluvial fan
As it once was

With disgust,
She stopped in her tracks.
pulling us way back
as before.

I stare past her
Into the deep green deciduous forest
room to grow
Draped in the divots of a tall sovereign maple
Inextricable
A golden woman
With long curled hair
A serpentine grin
An alluring glare
in illustrious charmeuse
The colour of spruce
In the middle of summer

She was beaming.
And before I knew it
In all my awe
So I was…
… so we were.

We watched her for eternity
So long that the river of sludge
Disappeared
How could this much freedom
Incite this much fear?
We are all here.

My feet made it clear
they had no more demands to move
Just as two soft hands joined with mine
I can tell these hands approve…

No one said a word
We were comforted like daughters

We cried until the river
Was given back her water.
