Twig That Cracks - Maple Bee

Tell me where I find myself today?

I think I left my heart outside again

I know your face, I know your hands so well

I know your stories and I know your smell

But like a twig that cracks, it’s here and gone

Count the seconds, before too long

Breathe the air, it’s clean and good

In this moment, you are understood

I don’t know which way I’m up today

Are you my lover?

Are you going away?

I thought I saw you on the news today

Just a static voice suspended there in the rain

But like a twig that cracks, it’s here and gone

Count the seconds, before it’s gone

Breathe the air, it’s clean and good

In the moment

But like a twig that cracks, it’s here and gone

Count the seconds, before they’re gone

Breathe the air, it’s clean and good

In this moment, you are understood

Feather in my hat, I’m in the sun

My arms outstretched towards the way that we’ve come

I hold onto remembering your ways

In holding on, I hope I learn to stay

But like a twig that cracks, it’s here and gone

Count the seconds, before too long

Breathe the air, it’s clean and good

In the moment

But like a twig that cracks, it’s here and gone

Count the seconds, before they’re gone

Breathe the air, it’s clean and good

In the moment, you are understood

You are understood
