Over You

I stand over you
And I fall under you
I pray that I'll love you
I pray I'll be better to you

It's not enough to watch the sparrows flying
Or listen to the songs they sing
I want to be a bird with graceful wings
One of the finer things

I'm sick over you
I could hold you forever
I pray that I'll leave you
I pray for the space to give you

It's not enough to feel the ocean's stillness
Or listen to the palm trees sway
I want to be the peace that makes you stay

I'm wiser but I'm running out of time
This sadness hanging on me all the time
I could have paid attention but I lied to myself
For so long I lost the light

Now I've cried over you
Cause I fall back on you
Some day when you need me
Some day like you always tell me

It's not enough to dream of redwood beaches
When they're burning in the summer smoke
I wanna be the truth and let you go
One in a million hearts and I know
I wanna be the truth and let you go
