Lyrics
Retriever
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.
Is this still what you want?
The moment to carry
Is this still what you are?
A memory of yourself
And though you looking out
Could never be looking in
Is this still where you are?
No passage to find it
Will this happen again?
The cycle behind it
Is this all that there is?
The memory of itself
And though leaving you out
Could never be what was meant
In this, all that you want
The moment to carry
Is this all that you want?
The moment to carry
Could it still be the way you wish?
Could it still be the way you wish?
And oh is that the way, the way that you want it still?
