leagues - anthony jay sanders lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve tried my best to explain you
to the present cast of characters that jumped into your clothes
i drag the past into the present
fossilized relevant sentiment all sewn into your robes
you’re in my closet, in my drawers and in my pockets
you’re written in my records and my books
you were my conscience
wade the waters of my loch ness
you stay under with the baby that you shook
i’m not the bestest with attendance
i get nested and i stay home
i write myself out of your history
i wonder if you ever miss me
i won’t know
but where can you be?
i get antsy waiting

[chorus]
don’t go, no matter how hard your heart or depleted your soul
because i’m not worth half of what i sing
i’m not worth half of what i sing
i’m not worth half of what i sing
if you’re not beside me and inside me, inspiring everything

[verse 2]
i am peter, he was paul
you’re at the center of it all
you wore all black and your dad’s hat instead of rags
we chatted up with the homeless while our parents never noticed
that we traded every hour that we had
i told my dad with choking screaming tearing breaths
that i loved you more than i loved anything
i see the hole inside my church
i see the whole of what you’re worth
and you had filled that opening
you stabbed the blow-up christmas snow globe
and you cried because you had to
i brought a shoulder and a friendship that grew older because it had to
but where can you be?
i get antsy waiting

[bridge]
arlene, alicia, is this what you promised?
is this what you salvaged?
arlene, alicia, is this what you promised?
is this what you salvaged?
leagues and leagues beneath him now?
leagues and leagues beneath him now?
leagues and leagues beneath him now?
