    It sings to hear the voice it’s known
    It sings to recognize the face

    That smile
    Don’t know whether you should break my heart
    Or put me together
    And those eyes
    I don’t know whether we should just stay friends
    Or if we should get together

    Ride baby, ride

    My body’s with the birds in me
    But my mind is with the times they’re leaving
    I want them but I let them go
    There’s a sparkle in the dust I breathe in

    My morning is empty and the streets are wide
    I look for nothing and I feel all right
    Stillness in the ways I try
    And then you walk on by

    Holy trouble
    I will run up the way to holy
    Holy trouble

    The needle you lost has found its way
    Rusted in the meadow of your faith
    Bags under eyes, define your gaze
    Solemn sweet like shadows crown your face

    Late night I swore we touched the sky
    A lonely night is all I need

    Had to die to love myself
    Rebirth to another
    Ripping brainwash in my cells
    I just want to remember
