Sometimes I think I’ve almost fooled myself
Sometimes I think I’ve almost fooled myself--
Spreading out my wings
Above us like a tree,
Laughing now, out loud
Almost like I was free
I look at you as the thing I wanted most
You look at me and it’s like you’ve seen a ghost—
I wear the face
Of all this has cost:
Everything you tried to keep away from me,
Everything I took from you and lost
Lights shine above me, they’re like your eyes above the street
Lights shine below me, they’re like stars beneath my feet—
I stood on your shoulders
And I walked on my hands,
You watched me while I tried to fall
You can’t bear to watch me land
Take me away, carry me like a dove
Take me away, carry me like a dove—
Love me like you’re lying
Let me feel you near,
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while I disappear
