lyrics

the clock said
to break our brain in two
that’s when i knew you got me
listening for cues
seeing salt with just a few
words more than i’m used to

so call me soft
or call me tender
call me ending up with nothing
spending more time on forgetting
than forgiving, or fending off
the second guesses, bending just
because my bones can handle it

and no matter what shape i’m in
i always end back with this body of mine
knowing inside i’m grown like a garden
knowing outside is not like we wanted

so you see i’m getting there
wear my heart like a sweater
on my sleeve, and i won’t let
the winds of change give me that headache again

i know you’ve got the better end
i know you set the record straight
at least a thousand times
but tell me so i don’t forget

how i’m more hopeful than honest
more broken than caught up
with the way of the clocks
so get rid of my conscience
‘cause even your shadow is
ghostly, forgotten
i’m hoping i brought enough
light for the both of us

i’m more like soil every day
more earth in my bones than rain in my veins
when softness is power i’ll grow here again

and no matter what shape i’m in
i always end back with this body of mine
knowing inside i’m grown like a garden
knowing outside is not like we wanted
knowing full well i won’t always be pardoned
knowing this isn’t the end of the bargain

body of water, body of mine
body that bears the shape of time
body of water, body of mine
body that bears the shape of time
body of water, body of mine
body that bears the shape of time
body of water, body of mine
body that bears the shape of time
