about

Seems like i worked on this song forever. It is one of my favorite sets of lyrics. Its about girls and boys, relationships and attraction and how that interplays with the natural desire to have your needs met by someone other than yourself. This song has a very concrete place and time in my memory, one of those places that has a kind of sacredness.

lyrics

She’s in the world

let's dig the day a grave, pray for the night,
and forget our names
wade through a stream of tears,
make love and find a place to heal

i crossed the desert alone every day,
she came to me like a child's first rain
and she opened up to me and
it’s been so long since it rained…and
i want to fall in love, to feel again, and
i want to run away and get lost again, and
i want to let the rain, wash over me

the stunning depths of this girl
the stunning depths of this girl
oh i know, i know, she’s in the world
and deep inside of me
she’s in the world

her loneliness is a mirror of me
ghosts of desire dance in our midst
i hold her hopes so close to me
eyes open in the moment before we kiss
just as the lightness comes through the dark
she comes to me through a world of pain
you know i might be in love with you,
come out with me in the rain…
cause i want to let someone inside again
i don’t want to deal with the darkness alone again, and
i want to be saved from all this fear and pain

the stunning depths of this girl
the stunning depths of this girl
oh i know, i know, she’s in the world
and deep inside of me she’s in the world

you and i cannot be saved
we can only try to heal tonight
we cannot escape ourselves anyway
i don’t want to drive home alone
and i don’t want to stay the night
i’m the only one, i’m able to save
the stunning depths of this girl
the stunning depths of this girl
we can only save ourselves
back in the world
we can only save ourselves
and i’m in the world…
