From this old balcony I can see everything The weight tears a hole in these carbon coverings And I don't know what to do Without remainder that I get from you Your soul stretches farther than your skin So hold me down It was a magic show when the world began Water whispered to the clay Now you and I are mysteries Part human, part make-believe There's a river reaching out of these bones So hold me down So hold me down Now we fumble through the dark Atoms of a beating heart Unaware of the song we sing Like sleeping gods inside a dream Don't wake me Ten thousand centuries World's new, welcomes the sun's reprieves So you can take your time with me Hold me down Hold me down Else I'll float away
