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.
theres no other way
in the multitude
population, neighborhood
i look for you
do you look for me
its the only way you're gonna
get topography / typography / up off the feet ?
gotta settle down and watch the dust
gonna read the book all the rules that must
sets the time to set the pace
you took me closer
one step closer to that place
you take me one step closer
and now i know we're there
its better now than ever
now i know you'll stay
and another way
its a different world
theres a shining light
and a darkened world
and it waited takes a path
to a different place, different time
different vibe?
you take me one step closer
and now i know we're there
its better now than ever
now i know you're here
you take me one step closer
and now i know we're there
much better now than ever
and now i know you'll stay
found another way, another added trip/attitude?
theres a population, in the neighborhood
i'm lookin for you
you look for me
its the only way to get
to where we want to be
you take me one step closer
and now i know we're there
much better now than ever
and now i know you'll stay
you're taking me one step closer
and now i know we're there
its better now than ever
and now i know you'll stay with me
you're taking me one step closer
and now i know you're there with me
much better now than ever
and now i know you're here
