Disappearing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You came, I saw, I held your hand out of sight
Cause your cause is just a cause
Cause I came here to be with you
I'm like you I'll get inside you
Just like you
Came to be me
I'll do the mirror walk
Disappearing in her hand
He says to her "Your eyes are sick"
He says that mine are fine
She says "That's not what the doctor says"
He takes her word for it this time
If that's me/you - you/me thing
The who's who of the lovers club
You can't get a grip on nothing now can you?
There's no love where there is no love
How did I get so lucky
Walking in these shoes?
As a kid I yearned for this
Disappearing in her hand
I'm like you, I'll look out from you
Just like you, say the word of full return
Come and go, stay the same
Disappearing in her hand
Just like fishes swimming
They heard some vibe about the water
Swimming in the ocean
Looking for the ocean
Looking for the ocean wide
Ocean swimming, like the fishes swimming
In the ocean
They heard that God was the water
But they were swimming in it all the time
