LYRICS:
If I could see, I’d like to see
summer storms in kodachrome,
timeless as my favorite song.
If I could see then I would see you.
I’d watch you spin all sunbleached,
blue dress and decollete,
all the futures we could chase -
If I could see, I’d like to see
You.

Make me a sheep and I’ll be yours.
I’d flock to the fields that goodness moored
if you’d take the leap of faith before me
because I can’t
and I won’t pretend anymore.

If I could be anything, I’d be water on the warmest day,
touch the shore and pull away.
At every tide change I will chase you.
And we will live in memories
of perfect days that we would waste -
I tried to make you take a shape.
You left with purpose.
I can’t change you.

I’ll take it all back,
the grief, the hope,
trains on train tracks, and leaves that grow,
all you can’t see, all that I won’t show -
Why is it to be loved you have to be known?

This is not the same world. It’s not the one that I grew up in,
and you’re not who I fell in love with,
and I’m not who you fell in love with.

Pull out my eyes there is no more to see.
A flicker of love, an earth that’s scorched.
A bright red balloon - you held my cord,
opened a window,
and let go.
