Now I'm confiding, know I may have

Gone through the motions my whole life

I hope this is the first day

That I connect motion to feeling

We spin slowly, we spin slowly 'til morning

You know, you know, you know, you know

Appearance is nothing

You know, you know, you know, you know

Appearance is nothing

Now you're my lover, know that

I fell at your ways

Ashamed lover

When you touch me

I wonder what you would want with me

It feels like like a thousand pounds of weight

Holding your body down in a pool of water

Barely reaching your chin

I will assume form, I'll leave the ether

I will assume form, I'll be out of my head this time

I will be touchable by her, I will be reachable

I couldn't tell you where my head goes either

But it wanders 'til I'm high up

Where I'm not all here, and there's no karma

When you touch me, I wonder

I always wonder what you could want with me

I will assume form, I'll leave the ether

I will just fall and be beneath her

I will be touchable, I will be reachable

'Cause I can already see that this goes deeper

Now you can feel everything

Doesn't it seem more natural?

Doesn't it see you float?

Doesn't it feel connective?

Doesn't it see you crying?

Don't you know your best side shows

When you're unaware?

Not thinking, just primal

Now you can feel everything

Doesn't it get much clearer?

Doesn't it seem connected?

Doesn't it get you started?

Doesn't it make you happier?

Doesn't it feel more natural?

Doesn't it see you float?

Doesn't it seem much warmer

Just knowing the sun will be out?
