Take all your insides
Arrange them in patterns
How else can I see you so plainly?
Your third story bedroom
You painted the ceiling
With calamine lotion to soothe
Watering eyes
Spring came along
And I just moved back
From an honest attempt
To move on
Forge ahead
Like a curious wave
Like a prayer you guide
Her to greener grays
Don't be late
The world is spinning under toe
Don't be late
The words will spiral out your throat
And give your words to me for safekeeping
My memory might fail me
But I've got a way to ignite
Stories you are hiding
The longer you push them down
They'll come back up for a fight
There was a time before you were born
When heavenly bodies
Whispered your name into storms
So you could forge ahead
Like a curious wave
Like a prayer you guide
Her to greener grays
(Instrumental)
Oh, like a prayer
Like a curious wave
Like a tear when it falls from your face
Like a prayer
Oh
Like a prayer
Like a curious wave
