The train flew past And I wasn’t in my seat This time I drove right past the station From a loud room, with the breeze Gust along control Through years passed and received Scared to change gears for my dad But now who’ll do it if not me? Here to be dropped Into our small ponds, now we swim We grew up into fins then legs To climb out and wade in again Between flashes The city looks unchanged to me And it’s dumb but I feel sad When there’s not time to walk lonely Through neighbourhoods that keep Their old meanings quietly And I’ll try to distill an old feeling That’s only the same in the memories Grown to accept the hand-me-downs You’re so surprised I’m in new shoes And I love having dry feet But not as much as I love you We’ll take it all And it’ll be all that we feared And we’ll do it so willingly Momentarily feels weird And then just is Tumble back onto our feet The portraits still the same But their backdrops slowly creep Conveyer belt context The shading shifts to throw new light Onto dormant pains inside us And certainty into night Watch the scenery fly faster Until you’re hurtling alone The meaning slips loose and past you And barrels lost into the unknown Grasp into white-hot new Reach into terrifying change That as it holds your life in it’s jaws The devouring dimension makes seem tame
