Every day I picture things falling down   Landscape all tossed around   In cities I start to drown   But when I stop to push the fear out of me   Come steady my shaking knees   And drag the roots out to sea      And it's hard to be steeped in your gaze   You're always drinking me, I have no place   To be awkward and silent   Spoil your tongue with my silence   My flavor happens inside this   There is no love without trying   There is no easy way when I      Crane my neck to kiss your head, I know   That there is something that I can rely on   And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew   It's some kind of future that I can be sure of      Oh I'm just breathing air   Contracts on everything   Reluctant and measuring   The food that we choose to bring   But I can trace an invisible piece of string   Connects between you and me   Like symbols of property      Oh when I recognize, cut from a cloth   Always solid and breathing   You and I retract like swans   Always advance and receding   Believe in something worth eating   Share love in something like feeding   There is no trust without meaning   There is no easy way when I      Crane my neck to kiss your head, I know   That there is something that I can rely on   And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew   It's some kind of future that I can be sure of      And I wonder why there is no choice in the things that we hear   We hear our lives inside these sounds   There's nothing good on the radio   There's never anything good on   There's never anything good on   There's nothing good on the radio   There's never anything so I stop to sing   And these things come rushing from behind   Life is changing so fast and there's nothing I can do to stop it   But when I crane my neck to kiss your head, I know   That there is something that I can rely on   And when I strain my thoughts to push this thread I sew   It's some kind of future that I can be sure of      Because I love you, because I love you   Because I love you, because I love you
