lyrics

So happy I’m high
So crushed I could die
The moon is shining bright tonight
On one side.

You’re praying to a god
You don’t believe in
Obeying rules in the nature
That you were conceived in.

What is right
It should be clear
But I’m so insecure
Yet never have I been so sure.

Hey there my friend
Why must all good things end
Do I cast a shadow
When you’re standing near?

And I can still see
And I can still feel
And I can still sing
Can you hear me?

One day I woke to find
The person that I had in mind
Had crawled and walked and ran
To a finish line drawn in the drifting sand.

Each night I sleep
To the sound of your breath
So deep that I can’t hear
So deep I almost wish for—

And I can still see
And I can still feel
And I can still sing
Can you hear me?

It’s not perfect
And with me it’s ok
I’m feeling all four seasons
Yeah, I feel it every day.

And I can still see
And I can still feel
And I can still sing
Can you hear me?

And I can still see
And I can still feel
And I can still sing
Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

I take your heart in my hands
With deliberate regret
And by choice I slowly squeeze it to death
And by choice I slowly squeeze it to death.
