can't find the forest
G# Fm7 C#
too stuck on the trees
G# Fm7 C#
but now you're invested,
G#
so i'm left pretending
Fm7 C#
it's all i can see
G# Fm7 C#
i asked for a window
G# Fm7 C#
to open my cell
G# Fm7 C#
you came as kaleidoscopes
G#
climbing, colliding
Fm7 C#
you came as yourself
A#m Fm
whether i'm ready
D# A#m
is not up to me
Fm
we go where we're ordered
D#
to bunker or beach
A#m D#
to the close of creation
G# Fm7 C#
as shells and stories
G# Fm7 C#
G# Fm7 C#
a spiral staircase
G# Fm7 C#
Astoria, Queens
G# Fm7 C#
i claimed you while conscious
G#
got sleepy, forgetful,
Fm7 C#
and left you in dreams
A#m Fm
you folded your leg
D# A#m
right foot to left knee
Fm
you laughed at my back
D# A#m
said you couldn't believe

how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth

drove from the service
G# Fm7 C#
spent in my seat
G# Fm7 C#
my woman beside me
G#
a clutch of hydrangeas
Fm7 C#
a strange sort of peace
G# Fm7 C#
in loss, i'm made certain
G# Fm7 C#
unveiled clarity
G# Fm7 C#
it's you i will marry
G#
my lover, my family
Fm7 C#
you always will be
A#m Fm
but every word
D# A#m
seemed too small to speak

so we watched the sky reach
D# A#m
ambivalent peaks
D#
we made our projections
present and free
