You Are Light (Lucky Light Sessions)

I saw you at the end
I saw you at the end of where I was going
And all around the edge
Yes, all around the colours started flowing
I was trying to pretend
Trying to pretend I was all-knowing
Between our stand-off at the bar
The falling in the dark
Water in my eyes
And the beating of my heart
It started showing

You are light, don't you know
Oh but look at what you've made
You draw love from our hearts
And you make us all afraid
That children in their damage can be cruel
But you're the brutally poetic, exceptional exception to the rule

Walked me to the place I sleep
A phone call that would cost me several dollars
Got my cousin on the line
I wasn't so inclined, couldn't be bothered
To give you what you needed
So you could go on home and rest your spinning head
I figured that I owed you one
For fooling me and leaving me for dead

You are light, don't you know
Oh but look at what you've made
You draw love from our hearts
And you make us all afraid
That children in their damage can be cruel
But you're the brutally poetic, exceptional exception to the rule

Now I understand
That the holding of my hand is no sound anchor
That I'm temperate like a drunk
And that I bite and kick and scratch
The more I falter
And I can't try my best to give you what you're after
Sometimes I wonder if it even really matters
But then I remember

You are light, don't you know
Oh but look at what you've made
You draw love from our hearts
And you make us all afraid
And you make us all afraid
And you make us all afraid
That children in their damage can be cruel
But you're the brutally poetic, exceptional exception to the rule
