about

when chances slip through your fingers but you're keeping it funky

lyrics

I was thinking about love
And how it always seems to pass me by
I was thinking about her
Who else, who else, this time
There never was a prettier soul
In my heart, in my mind
In the imagined corners of this house
I was thinking about us
And how, and how, somehow

Run that spear right through my side
Now I'm with you, I can't hide
All I have left
The weight of regret
Why did I wait till the odds were impossible
Why did I wait until now

I was thinking about touch
And how your hand brushed mine those four, five times
I was thinking about truth
And where it seems to hide
I'm studying unknowable souls
Where it's safe, where it's warm
In the imagined corners of my room
I was thinking about you
And how much I thought I knew

Run that spear right through my side
Now I'm with you, I can't hide
All I have left
The weight of regret
Why did I wait till the odds were impossible
Why did I wait until now

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Until it isn't anymore
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Until it isn't anymore
