Lyrics: P. Gorman

lyrics

The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping
you hadn't had experience in this world yet.
It makes me wonder about the science of thinking,
it makes me wonder about the lives that you've led.
It makes me wonder if there's someone who knows you
and knew me as well but isn't telling you yet.

The first I noticed that you smile while you're sleeping,
do angels kiss your lips and tickle your head?
Well I don't know.

My girl's tall, she makes tall girls.

Once we went down for a walk in a town
with a high population of bird life.
You were so wide-eyed, your eyes say to me

"I'm learning that sand is the hardest to dig,
I keep digging my hole, it keeps caving in.
And the problems get big and the bigger they get,
so do fears and the thoughts that will come with them."

Like, "I live in a country I don't understand anymore
I'm afraid and I'm locking my door
and I'm beating my brains on a learning rock
and I can't pay my rent and I can't get a job."

And, "I'm looking for more, it keeps breaking my heart.
I'm pinning my hopes on a spinning thing.
What I want is house with a white picket fence,
what I need is a God, not a diamond ring."

Or, "Will I stay gold to my mom and my dad and my friends?
How I long to so."
But for now you are small and you're in my heart and you'll be there forever.
That's all I know.
