lyrics

I was never ready
For what I heard
But it doesn’t matter
A true word always lands

It was so felt and foreign
It was so fresh and new

Now we’re down and we’re deep in the forest
Looking in the shimmering water
Wondering, what can I dream now?
Can I dream up some sunlight
Can I find a flower behind the rock
Will the softest mosses lay us down, down, down

It is so felt and foreign
It is so fresh and new

I brought you a broken sparrow
You saw a healing body
My spirit had never known flight
Just the kind where the ground is falling
Can we throw our heads back
Take back ten, laugh in the wind
Take back ten, laugh in the wind

It is so felt and foreign
It is so fresh and new
It is so felt and foreign
It is so fresh and new
It is so fresh and new
