lyrics

I'd like to live in the moment before you wake up and realize you're in the same space
Covered in blankets and warm summer lighting
Before all the sickness creeps in through the shades
And I spend my life in uncomfortable stillness
Hoping my mind won't bring its thick fog
And I hope for something to give me an answer so I know that I am not lost

So I'll house the creatures that come to my window
Listen to what they have to say
And I will be nice to the ones that bring secrets
Even if they are hard to take
Ill hold their words to my broken body
And hope that they heal me and take me away
Ill house the creatures that come to my window
Leave it open
Leave it wide till I break

I wish my feet didn't touch the ground
When I walk on the pavement it rattles my bones
And I wish that love was always beginning
Because what opens will always close
And I wish that I could always feel pretty without ever trying like most people are
But I want to many things to get in this world
Show me what is important and what I don't know

And I'll house the creatures that come to my window
Listen to what they have to say
And I will be nice to the ones that bring secrets
Even if they are hard to take
Ill hold their words to my broken body
And hope that they heal me and take me away
Ill house the creatures that come to my window
Leave it open
Leave it wide till I break

At night when its dark I can hear the birds singing
Like the sun is high in the blue-day-lit sky
And I know someday that I'll feel light
And I'll fly with them into the night

And know someday that I'll feel light and I'll fly with them into the night
