Far Away Cranes

Timed it with the pulse

Coming up again

The time you knew you couldn’t shake it

Still rest to watch it now,

Still chest, and it comes out

This is the sound you couldn’t save

Is it perspective? Is it just knowing where to run?

From far away, cranes look like carnival games

We’ve been behind, been inside

Wanted for nothing but the cold

We let it go, it would come back,

Waited but nothing ever came

And it was uphill, yeah it was uphill all the way home

And I walked the outside, memories we tried to place

Coming back to your house, your younger brother, he wasn’t home yet

Eyes on the floor, heartbeats,

Finding ourselves somewhere we should never have been found

Keep in touch, let me know how you’re doing

From far away, clouds look just like anything

I wrote down all the answers

Just ordered them wrong

I offered to come with you

But you refused

So hard to explain its entirety

So now what’s important, so now how could we do nothing?

We used to think that magic things could really happen

And when we stepped out of the tree

We knew we couldn’t fly, but still we’d set to prove it with our blood

Focused to fall to somehow regain some control
