Montage

I've been waiting for the tiger lilies to bloom I've been staring at a sliver of a daylight moon Like every day it seems another year's gone by I watch them grow and disappear If angels are real just tell me where to fly Do they get stuck in the same motions just like you and I? They can't pull me out It's only me with every doubt In all the ways I could write this story I watch it like a movie Time wraps around me slowly Feel it like a heartbeat Director's cut, just write me a montage scene Not what I pictured but it's clear Just let it happen you can't script it out of fear That simple magic weaves a thread day to day Like the M train humming me to sleep A half mile away If angels are real just tell me where to fly Do they get stuck in the same motions just like you and I? They can't pull me out It's only me with every doubt In all the ways I could write this story I watch it like a movie Time wraps around me slowly Feel it like a heartbeat Director's cut, just write me a montage scene Director's cut, just write me a montage scene A sliver of the moon A sliver of wood A sliver of hope A dragonfly wing We heard the silver train turn on the tracks The sound of a soft whistle We watched the train go by We walked home in the wind Past the old church An outline in the last bit of light And I told you the story about the dragonflies We fell asleep in your bed I left the window cracked open To hear the whistle I watch it like a movie Time it wraps around me slowly Feel it like a heartbeat Director's cut, just write me a montage scene We watched the train go by (Watched it go by) (Watched it go by) Director's cut, just write me a montage scene Fleeting slivers of people's lives In passing
