lyrics

When I drive home
From your place
The distance stays the same
‘Cause I don’t know
How to construe
That stillness in your face

When I ask you if you’re alright
You swear that you’re okay
Is there something fermenting?
What is it?
I can’t say

I wish you could tell me
But I’m with you anyway

I miss you
I’ll wait for you
As long as it takes

Come on and cut through the curtain
And climb on through
Can I be closer to you?

When I walk in
To your room
You rerun everything
How your head spins
When you’re weakened
How your consciousness feels cruel

How your worries become unleashed
How your worst fears slowly brew

You cut the ugly parts from my brain
And you plant flowers that bloom

I wish I could change but
You’re with me anyway
Through distance
And in nearness
Through ordinary pain

Come on and cut through the curtain
And climb on through
Can I be closer to you?
