Voicenotes

What sequence of words could I conjure to change your mind
What are the stakes it would take to convince you
Everyday that we wait is too late 'til we're out of time
Not mine to make but the choice it is killing me

Blades of the grass that you long to observe
The pedals of flowers that you've never heard of
And birds and their feathers and water from dirt
And you drink it and True love and love for the Earth
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo

I've heard of this place and I'm sure it exists for some
Young as I am I'm not quite as naive as them
But I've gotten sick and I wish I could tell you this
Cause I'd slow you down and you'd resent me for all of it
I long for the world that your song it describes to me
And I will go gently and you must go quietly
Into the night with your phone at your side
The horizon it guides you beyond city lights

And I will wait for your call
A text or a voice note will do
An empire falls and I will still wait for you
I'd even take one of those old fashioned letters
And fashion an airplane that threads through the weather
And lands at your windowsill still kept in tact
You unfold and read it and send me one back
Well I'd wait for your call
A text or a voice note will do
An empire falls and I will still wait for you
