Stray

You don't have to tell me what you're still looking for
Two arms to hold you and a voice to say
That's alright, you can spend the night
Well, come around
'Cause I've been there and these are the notes from the overground

World saxophone quartet
The smell of violets and a passing friend
Won't let you down

Listen to the rhythm of the rain falling
Say you're gonna change your foolish ways
Make a promise, break a promise in the same day
It goes the same way anyway
So you pray for silence and its sadness and its violence
To be washed away one day

I understand the state you reach to be unreachable
Somewhere out there where only the music plays
Loneliness and being alone don't always mean the same
Who needs the movie? You can see the music anyway
A sketch for winter or a burgundy sanctuary
Can make me stay when I feel that way

And if my words don't say the things that they were meant to say
And if confusion comes and carries all my words away
And if you still don't understand, I wanna hold your hand
And look at it this way

Someone singing's better than a war they're winning
Wing it and swing your way or my way
Any day, any way
