Providence Point

I sung all those years to the wrong pairs of ears
The ones that will listen, but they won't ever hear
And the girl that I love, she told me to run
Run from every fading failure and every setting sun

So I made a fool of myself all the time
Thinking I could change the coastline with these little lines
Catching fish after fish from a lake sealed with ice
Digging ditch after ditch for a third place prize

The gravity you feel when your earth's set in stone
Is nothing compared to being truly alone
In the darkest of corners, in the darkest of rooms
In some pocket in some crater on the dark side of moons

So I made a fool of myself all the time
Thinking I could change the coastline with these little lines
Catching fish after fish from a lake sealed with ice
Digging ditch after ditch for a third place prize
Flipping switch after switch for miswired lights
All my love for you

Sun showers in December, and squalls through the mist
The braying of the hounds, and the salt, and the silt
Let's put our lives on hold, for just one minute
For all that I lack, ten times you emit
