Lyrics

Let's commence to coordinate our sights And get them square to rights (Get them square to rights) Condescend to calm this riot in your mind Find yourself in time (Find yourself in time) If I am waiting, should I be waiting? If I am wanting, should I be wanting? And all around me (All around me) Document the world inside his skin The tenor of your shins The timbre of your limbs Now commence to kick each brick apart To center on your heart Starting with your heart (bright heart) If I am waiting, should I be waiting? If I am wanting, should I be wanting? And all around me (All around me) It's it sunlight, it's it shadow It's the quiet, it's the word It's the beating heart It's the ocean it's the boys It's you, my sweet love (my sweet love) Oh, my love (oh my love) And the light, bright light And the light, bright light Bright light, bright light It's all around me It's all around me It's all around me
