Born into Language

[Verse 1]
A parking lot outside a church
We are laughing into our sleeves
They’re putting the tea out as the family turns
You’re still hanging from the eaves

[Pre-Chorus]
I held you in two cupped hands
Your feet became unstuck from the sand
You walked back to where you began
I held you in two cupped hands

[Chorus]
Your brimming eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light
Your brimming eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light

[Verse 2]
Surrounded by a swollen bed
You turned into a satellite
You were born into language, the destruction of dark
But you had sudden perfect sight

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought about how all bodies end
They looked to see if you would ascend
I felt a calm I didn’t intend
I thought about how all bodies end

[Chorus]
Your brimming eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light
Your brimming eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
I held you in two cupped hands
Your feet became unstuck from the sand
You walked back to where you began
I held you in two cupped hands

I thought about how all bodies end
They looked to see if you would ascend
I felt a calm I didn’t intend
I thought about how all bodies end

[Chorus]
Tour brimming eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light
Your heavy eyes were so quick to ignite
Tried to revise what I knew about light
