lyrics

I am here and I am waiting/ I am sick and I am wrong/ thin laid shadow on a neighbor's stair/ You can elevate my life into impossible peaks, valleys splashed with greenery and light/ and we'll come home again/ this time I'm home and then it's not illusion or pretend/ I can see that I was mistaken/ there's realness to the pictures in my head/ It's so real and these paths are open/ your breathing waves of whispers pull me in/ It's ok to feel so frightened it's ok to feel alone/ my heart is still open when you go away/ We can build another tower, we can drop into our sea/ flesh and visions that are you and me/ and we'll come home again/ this time I'm home and then it's not illusion or pretend/ canyons raised that once cut through me/ burning flame that's never safe to hold/ if feelings wain, and you believe me, we'll step onto a ground that's seconds old
