lyrics

I met my clone out in the fields
And he seemed skeptical
of which one of us was real

So I tied on my gloves to fight
But stopped just short of looking
him right in the eye

He said,

“If you don’t believe in anything
You got no more right to claim
that anything still makes you and the
ones you love the same.

And now we’re in this open space
with nowhere else to hide
Let’s take this matter
proverbially outside.”

I told him I was deathly tired
That I’d been up all night
To count as many fears as there
were stars and fireflies

I told him it’d been years since I
could last collect my thoughts
But I’d still give him as good as I got

Then I met a girl from way down south
Whose thoughts were
Butterflies that fluttered from her mouth

Their colors swam beneath the bed
And after one or two false starts
They sighed and said,

“We’ve walked together for a thousand miles
At least 10 more still to tread
I wonder will I see you when I
Stumble cross the edge

I wonder if I’ll feel your face
Still warm from the day’s light
Or watch your shadow
Dissolve into the night.”

I told her I was soaking wet
That I’d been caught outside
In thunderous gale and golf ball hail
Wrapped in her hair to hide

Don’t know if I can follow maps
To all the treasures that she sought
But I’ll still give her, as good as I’ve got

I will still give them, as good as I’ve got
