I'm Not There

I am slipping out the window

Leaving little things

Lighter than a feather

And you are the weather

Mixing with the spirits

Swimming in my drink

Watering your love down

Drowning out your sweet sound

'Cause how can I tell you, I am nowhere?

I am breathless, I am hot air

If it's heavy, I can hold it

Maybe too much, when you notice

I'm not there

I'm not there

I am holding on to anger

Hiding little stings

Spinning in a circle

Tangling my strings

Standing in the hallway

Losing all my leaves

Holding friends together

Playing to the camera

'Cause how can I tell you, I am nowhere?

I am breathless, I am hot air

If it's heavy, I can hold it

Maybe too much, when you notice

I am ready for my close up

We are rolling and we can't stop

Once you look under the covers you will know

That I'm not there

I'm not there
