Whale

I see you don't see me the same these days
I see you look through me and drift away
Your eyes try to scream what your mouth won't say
We don't need to fight to explain a drive we can't explain

Oh, how do we all stand up
When the world is falling down around me?
Oh, how do I shake things up
When the world is everything it can be?

Nothing ever comes if you really want it to
Maybe you're standing too close to the page
And you've got to step back, take a breath, let it take effect
Feel our bodies reconnect, I know it's so psycho-physical

I mean this, this meanness is hard to take
I hear what you're saying but I can't translate
The torture of talking for talking's sake
I'm not going to run, I'm not hiding from what you're hiding from

Oh, how do we all stand up
When the world is falling down around me?
Oh, how do I shake things up
When the world is everything it can be?

Nothing ever comes if you really want it to
Maybe you're standing too close to the page
And you've got to step back, take a breath, let it take effect
Feel our bodies reconnect, I know it's so psycho-physical
I'm waiting for a sign but there's nothing coming through
Maybe you're standing too close to the page
And you've got to step back, take a breath, let it take effect
Feel our bodies reconnect, I know it's so psycho-physical

When I was young
I could dream myself out of the room
And my hands would shake
When you shout me back to reality
Don't wait until the light fades out
Don't wait until you lose that countdown
Don't wait until the light fades out

Oh, nothing ever comes if you really want it to
Maybe you're standing too close to the page
And you've got to step back, take a breath, let it take effect
Feel our bodies reconnect, I know it's so psycho-physical
I'm waiting for a sign but there's nothing coming through
Maybe you're standing too close to the page
And you've got to step back, take a breath, let it take effect
Feel our bodies reconnect, I know it's so psycho-physical
