Ordinary Things
There is meaning in the quiet things
The sunlight through the leaves
Stirring softly in the breeze
A message buried in the mess of things
An image that resolves
Within the chaos that you see
There's no perfection, just the way it is
I want to dig down into the heart of it
Portent hides in ordinary things
In your breath against my cheek
In the moments before sleep
A shifting mass within the empty space
Stretching out through time
Something too big to notice me
A carbon chain with such simple needs
But I want to reach into the heart of it
I want to catch it in a song
Catch it in a song
A mammal's love is such a heavy thing
It weighs him to the earth
From the moment of his birth
Stains his dreams with dread and ecstasy
Until he sleeps for good
The message never understood
But there is joy in the mystery
The gentle tug of strings leading back to the heart of it
I want to catch it in a song
Catch it in a song
The sunlight through the leaves
Stirring softly in the breeze
A message buried in the mess of things
An image that resolves
Within the chaos that you see
There's no perfection, just the way it is
I want to dig down into the heart of it
Portent hides in ordinary things
In your breath against my cheek
In the moments before sleep
A shifting mass within the empty space
Stretching out through time
Something too big to notice me
A carbon chain with such simple needs
But I want to reach into the heart of it
I want to catch it in a song
Catch it in a song
A mammal's love is such a heavy thing
It weighs him to the earth
From the moment of his birth
Stains his dreams with dread and ecstasy
Until he sleeps for good
The message never understood
But there is joy in the mystery
The gentle tug of strings leading back to the heart of it
I want to catch it in a song
Catch it in a song
