Going Nuts

I was staring at the sun
But my eyes never burn
‘Cause there’s something about the way that this new world turns
I stand at the tip
Of a precipice tall
And when I open up my eyes I see it all

There’s a monster and garden and delicate lullaby
There’s the effort of a machine who best days have gone by
There’s the spot in my sights that I can never shake
And there’s a song that echoes from the lady in the lake

The best of me sits
While the worst of me runs
And no one else can see that I’m having fun
When I’m swinging that sword
And I’m casting my line
I’ll do it in the glow of the morning sunshine

There’s syllables and gerunds and actions and passions
There’s movement and shaking and gorgeous car crashes
There’s libraries full of the words that we spill
And there’s plenty of reasons for the world to stand still

Oh I’m going nuts
A little everyday
And I hope I go a little more crazy today
The pieces are set
And the bell’s gonna ring
I’m holding on to the world by a string
The memory flush
Of the future we seek
Is wrapped around the rocks upon the snow covered peak
Take me into the woods
And show me filtered sunlight
Kiss me and tell me that it will all be all right

There’s a step and a sway and a jig and a dance
There’s the slightest hint of a broader romance
There’s painted flowers on the cracking concrete
And there’s wet wildflowers smothered underneath our bare feet
