the line breaks - lovestreams lyrics

[verse 1]
the line breaks
are what takes
it from a sentence
to a song
like the light
from the hills to the lake
it plays on
makes a day
say it’s may
say it’s noon
i can see it so clear

[verse 2]
like your shoes
are what made you
so naked, it’s true that your blues
and your bruises, the aching
you knew
that they’d make you you
which is all
that you can be when
it’s been i don’t know how many years

[verse 3]
in the flecks of white paint
on the face of a mexican
saint statuette in the dark of a texas
“laundrette”
i saw my whole future appear
i saw sunbursts and blazes
my vision, it flew
to the most decent places
i saw you, you had numerous
faces
you were hiding, but i saw you clear
[verse 4]
oh, girl, throw me down
roll me home, show me your heart
who you secretly are
get me off, sing me songs
show me stars
how they’re swooping down, nearer and nearer
you’re a raw apparition
my vision goes solar and splinters
i’ll hold you through summers and winters
don’t wither
just like everything living down here
well, you wanted me to be sincere

[verse 5]
with your eyelashes glued on
and long fingernails
on the couch that we screwed on
the street where we all failed
to make it new
i can see it
i’m up! i jump from my chair
and i claw and i swing at the air
my imagined pursuers can flee
or can stare
or can come out, come closer, come here
well, come on
[verse 6]
did your faces fall down?
did your days all burn past
in a blaze until pain doesn’t seem great
and not feeling feels safe?
honey, you’ve got to know that that’s wrong
should i come by? i know it’s late in the day, just to wave goodbye?

[verse 7]
like a line in a guestbook
that’s only to say
that an old song is best
at the end of the day
hold your breath
close your eyes, just halfway
doesn’t that feel like living?
doesn’t it feel like we’ve got no clue
what we’re given?
