spring came back and you made tracks
through the morning dew in the tall grass
in the empty lot next to the apartment
the same one that you've been hiding at
and you notice how you start to feel
like the life you live isn't so real
anymore you can't control, you can't explain
still don't know how you got your shoes wet
but finally, there's something worth contending with
shadows lurking just at the mention of it
are my defenses coming to the rescue
as if what I know can save me but does it save me
so you'll go for a walk and get caught up tying knots
you turn the music up before you turn the lights off
still thinking in your head of all the differences
but you really shouldn't mind
fighting something worth contending with
sunlight bursting and the sound of breathlessness
pulling guard down from the edifice
what I know can save me but does it save me
