lyrics

You placed a cloth over my face
the edge like a row of teeth frayed
the sun on my skin
softly breathing in
My hand stretched in some exacting poise
demonstrating with careful poise
the mountain range bleached to the color of sun
My feet and yours in the cool clean river water

Refrain:
So many worlds in just one ripple
Can I stay in this moment forever?
Little strands we leave behind
I want to be wise, I want to be wiser
Not waste my life
That's not enough
Can't be who I want to be like this
Wasting my head in some ridiculousness

Sliced my thumb right into some cabbage
Sewed my nail right on with your baggage
Did I love you then, did I really love you then?
Did we fall into something and never stop falling
Made a choice to keep it going?

Driving the u-haul
talking to my sister
You pulling away felt like a scissor
to my arms and to my liver
Tied a little knot together
A series of knots can make a rope
I want to be your buddy want to be your dope

{Refrain}

The feeling of the cloth over my face
white and thin soft from use
the light shining through a translucent window
through which I can really see you
The trees are waving behind your head
Your artist eyes seeing me through
I think you're the most beautiful person
I think you're the most beautiful person
I think you're the most beautiful person
