lyrics

She said thanks for being alive
With me right now
We scream loud enough to convince even ourselves
In the impossible embrace of moments like these
We find things to believe in
Like these sidewalk cracks that lead us
Back to the sea

So I fall asleep in the arms
Of a stranger again
Brave like the city
We are held by our own desires
As a thousand nights of rain
Go by almost unnoticed

Like the onions that make you cry
Or the dreams where you could fly
Your voice cracks...
Cracks to reach the note

There's no poem that can lift you
Where you can't already climb
No book to fill you in on the details
Of your own life
Collect moments in a jar
We sleep with grand ambitions
If everything could be held
We would fill our arms with nonsense
