youth

grand central

the crowd roars, there's fire
the glow flickers in your wild eyes
the curtain's up, our part to start
have I ever seen you so bright?
inside I'm shaking
paralysis is taking
control over exhausted senses
waiting for your cue
rung by rung, we climb into..

little thoughts take my mind
as we ascend the line
few things compare in kind
to the feel of your hands in mine

heads down, somersault in time
our bodies fall, aligned 
as-we-swing into the blind
I can feel your hands in

trapeze (little things)

baby says

for Will

rain is falling and i
rain is falling and i
rain is falling and i 
rain is falling and i

i don’t know what to - 
we didn’t know what to say

the quiet storm that sets off
the quiet fire that lives on
the quiet search to find meaning
there’s hope in every ending
there’s hope
