lyrics

I've been tripping over this,
since I first experienced
that the water in a kiss
causes something to grow
And it shame of it all is,
I can recognize the bliss,
But it's too easy to miss
what you don't wanna know
Cos I don't want this for myself
I'd rather be
I don't want this for myself
You see how every leaf
acknowledges the breeze?
I wanna be received
like the wind in the trees
Everywhere I go you're warned
That there's bound to be a storm,
I need no stage to perform
Nor a reason to dance
Don't mistake my ways for free,
I am moved unwillingly
but I will be what I will be,
Apologies in advance.
And I don't want you for myself,
you oughtta be
I don't want you for myself.
I'm moving in your arms,
I'm shaking at my knees
I hope to leave no harm,
like the wind in the trees.
My belly scrapes the ground,
and I move invisibly
(Restless, silence, life of runaway imprisonment)
But you gave me shape and sound,
like the wind in the trees
(Fragrance, violence, your audible tension, my diligence)
I'd linger
in beauty
your fingers
running through me
you'd only
be covering
the fact that
I'm nothing
