Lyrics

When I found this my language in a way, I began to speak
And my soul was free, on a gust of inspiration
She was soaring, over the walls built with shame
And self doubt, and a midnight curfew
And a form I had not yet seen engulfed me...
I was standing on the deck in the rain, listening to jazz
Smoking a reefer cigarette and I swear
I swear I didn't think of you once
But I thought maybe
Love is what you've been missing
Cause love is not what you've been giving
Maybe getting is all you've known 'til now
Or maybe you've forgotten how
He said, "Do you write for you or other people?"
I said, "Other people."
I said, "I want them to see the beauty that I can but
I just can not seem to touch
Which is only a metaphor for all of us."
I said, "I think I'm trying to capture a moment
I think my whole life I've been trying to capture
That moment..."
He said, "Though one thing you can be sure of
Is that you never will."
And I thought maybe
That love is what I've been missing
Cause love is not what I've been giving
Maybe getting is all I've known 'til now
Or maybe I never even learned how
Let's try and keep things out of the space that divides
You said, "The cracks between where we lie."
And we lie around so much
We lie around, and yes, we lie around
We lie around, we just
Lay around the truth
So much
Until you are
You're getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone
You are
You're getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone
You are
You're getting, getting, getting, getting, going, gone
You are
For your loving, for your loving, for your love
Cause I don't wanna wait today for your love
Oh no no, no no no
I don't wanna wait today
For you love
