Clearing - Grouper

Open up the window

Try to let the light out

Try to let the curtain float in

That way, I can hear the water

Pulling on a pathway

Calling on the pathway

Whispering and passing, shoes rattling

And I was thinking I was running

And every time I see you

I have to pretend I don’t

You thought that it would help

But it’s only made us fall apart

I’m treading in the water

Human in the shadows

No longer your shadow

Clearing, I know where your light is

More or less nothing changes

Maybe I’ve been seeing things

Cry to yourself with one

That are going out of home

And can’t you see us fading

And soon there won’t be anyone there

It’s funny, when you fuck up

No one really has to care

Sometimes I wish

That none of this had happened

Let our sad song

Be carried out to sea

As steady as the water

As tender as the evening

Where we hurry

Down to build a shadow

As softly as an echo

As solid as a triangle

Send a message as you

Where everything is walking, there’s a hallway

And maybe you were right

When you said I’d never been in love

How can I explain

Why it’s safer when I feel alone

And what has been done

May never be undone

So take your sad song

And sail into the next life

Maybe you were right

When you said I’d never been in love

How can I explain

Why it’s safer just to be alone
