Lyrics:

I am aimless in my lovin'
Caught the tail end of your set
Before I went to bed

But I don't get out much
Met a lover in my backyard
Watching from my room
Honey I'll come down soon

Now I am falling to a dark place
Where just remembering her death's
About all I can take

But I don't get out much
Is being swallowed by a room
Supposed to feel this way?
Maybe I'll come out
Babe

Now I am swimming in a river
Showing off the butterfly
Enraptured by light

But I don't get out much
And nothing's held me so soft
As this water tonight

Maybe she was
She was right
What dying felt like

A wooden spoon tossed in the fire
'Cause nothing's good enough
You fucking liar
You fucking liar

A sliding hill
A quick refrain
A frozen bird
Melting
An eyelash
For wishing
