lyrics

i've got bats of love for you sleeping upside down on the inside
i've got fireflies for you clouding all around me
i've got stacks of rocks for you climbing to the sky on the outside
i'd like to be in moss with you closer than we'd normally stand now

between my hands is the love of warm water
and i am steeping like the little leaves inside

climb up on the roofs of me and sit down on your knees near the skylight
peer down through the glass and find out what's underneath me
wild running wolves of us with glowing silver eyes stalk into hindsight
they break down all the walls of me and send us fantastically tumbling down

sometimes my chest looks just like a pair of pillars
sometimes they buckle under all the weight inside

the months all slip away from me like rain inside my hands splaying open
i can buy myself the time i need but the price is never ending
i'll glue down my eyelids, knit my arms across my body
i'll fall backward in my Love for you and try to forget my fear somehow

between my shoulders is a sweet collage of lovers
thank you for helping me transform the bug inside

i've got bats of love for you snoozing upside down on the inside
and i've got fireflies for you clouding all around me....
