What Gives

VERSE

Somewhere there’s a light in an empty room

When my mind is adrift

I’m back there with you

You said a little much

Much too late

Last cheers on a whim

Let’s make a night of it

CHORUS

What gives?

Even in the calm there’s a hum in it

What gives?

I promise in a while I’ll come out again

What gives?

Say all of it is fine

You’re so sure of it

What gives?

Even when it\'s cold you\'re not coming in

VERSE

I didn’t mean to disappear 

It’s just there’s nothing for me here

But I’m singing all the time

And though I talk the evening through

I know I never needed to 

You just let me get it right

Say maybe we’ll fall out of time

But everything we do survives

Like a chorus in the night

When I don’t know your name

When I don’t know just what it is I’m saying

When I don’t know your face

Lover

Stranger

Stay 

BUILD

And if leave as I came 

Will I wander back in just the same?

I was pulled by a thirst

I was drowned in the words of the saints

And if I’ve grown out of touch

Well it’s from thinking too much

All my days

I saw my body take flight

I felt my limbs come alive 

Over you

Oh the slip of your touch

All of your being undone

At the seams

And as I drift from your room

It’s on the wings of a cold afternoon

OUTRO

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I’m alright with it

I\'m alright with it
