you flew into my room
the paper on the wall
began to move and form the moon
sliding with your hands behind my knees
grasping foreign things
pin on the wings
lean into me
will your hands go numb as we pass carefully
beyond the sea
the air that you breathe
you've chosen on your own
i'll never share it with you
but the sea is blue
i saw you throwing stones
from the balcony into the water down below
give it up we're better without words
we'll stare them down
into the ground
lean into me
will your hands go numb as we pass carefully
beyond the sea
the air that you breathe
you've chosen on your own
i'll never share it with you
but the sea is blue
let the giants come
our work here
our work here is already done
look here look below
we'll fight them off
fight them into the snow
