Zero Gs

Well, here's the thing

I have loved being in love

With a daydream

My silver-tonsil-ed, seven-layer smokescreen

Do you catch my meaning, darling?

And in the quiet

I have heard the crooked noises

That a lie makes

Those thunder-in-your-capillary earthquakes

And I've named my mistakes, darling

And I don't expect forgiveness

I just want a way to name whatever this is

Find me a witness

For whatever this is

Well, in the ground

Of my living in this world

There is a trembling

A needle, and a puncture, and a mending

I can't comprehend it, darling

How you were there

On the porch, watching the mist

Listening to crickets

In the zero-G's of knowing how to fix it

Yeah you were weightless, darling

And I'm not asking for forgiveness

I just want a way to sing whatever this is

Find me a witness

For whatever this is

But I'm not gonna wait on your permission

I've been thinking on the ways that I am proud

And I'm not gonna give my life to wishing on

Wishes that have been shouting me out

So hunny, I go walking in the morning

I gather what I find to me at night

I've been counting on my dreaming

To help me say goodbye
