From the recording Until the Oceans Rise, Vol. 1
Lyrics
She is outside dancing in the rain
I am inside singing to the furniture again
Aeroplanes are buzzing overhead
I can’t hear a word but know exactly what she said
She is cutting holes in magazines
I am outside chasing bubbles wearin’ out my jeans
Some are stuck and some are trampolines
She might bounce away but always falls right back to me
Hold on tight
Blink and you’ll lose the light
Day becomes night
To keep it all you have to fight
It’s hard enough to do
But life is full of magic if you stop to see the view
She keeps saying we may disappear
Smiles and reminds me that the flood is almost here
I’ve been digging ditches for a year
Now we’re waiting for the rain to wash away our fear
Hold on tight
Blink and you’ll lose the light
Day becomes night
To keep it all you have to fight
It’s hard enough to do
But life is full of magic if you stop to see the view
Yesterday I saw the moon creep across my living room
Rising red and big and bright
I’d like to think the whole world stopped from crowded streets to mountaintops
And felt a little small that night
She is writing novels in her head
I am chasing sunsets lying next to her instead
Aliens would surely think we’re dead
But we could live 1000 lives without leaving our bed
Hold on tight
Blink and you’ll lose the light
Day becomes night
To keep it all you have to fight
It’s hard enough to do
But life is full of magic if you stop to see the view
