You loomed up slowly on the horizon
|
Blocking the sun like an ocean liner
|
When I discover I'm living in your shadow
|
It always comes as a surprise
|
|
But way up here
|
I'm spinning around a lamppost in the rain
|
Way up here, I remember rain
|
And I'm whispering directly into your ear
|
|
You are perfecting circular breathing
|
I can't always tell when you're inhaling
|
So you make it look like you're always giving
|
But you're always storing little bits away
|
You're a bit away
|
|
But way up here
|
I'm dancing around a lamppost in the rain
|
Way up here
|
It's pouring down
|
And I'm saying right into your ear
|
|
What does it take?
|
To stop getting carried away by the force of my love
|
You take my breath away
|
I'm starting to suffocate
|
Break the outline of my body
|
Break where I end and you begin
|
Break, you came too far in
|
And out and in, and doubt and din again
|
|
Every time we breathe out
|
We let out a little bit of ourselves
|
It'd be alright if we could exchange
|
But you don't want to
|
And I don't blame you
|
But I'm gonna wanna learn to play the didgeridoo too
|
|
Because way up here
|
I'm dancing around that lamppost in the rain
|
Way up here
|
Rain on down
|
And I'm screaming, I'm shouting into your ear
|
|
And out and in, and doubt and din.

Out And In
