lyrics
You keep your head down
And slip behind things
A silhouette with substance
A black hole tugging at me
And not even my gaze can escape your gravity.
You move in riddles
In opposite directions
You speak in silences
And look at everything but me
I'm a crack in the sidewalk that you have to step around.
Step on me
Oh what I would give just to be the ground you walk on
Step on me
I'm a break in the monotonous concrete gray
And if you just avoid me, I'm stepped on anyway.
I form ontologies
What's it like to be you?
I form cosmologies
What's it like to be with you?
And I look at you and I know you're everything I think you are.
You keep your head down
And slip behind things
A silhouette with substance
A black hole tugging at me
And not even my gaze can escape your gravity.
Step on me
Oh what I would give just to be the ground you walk on
Step on me
I'm a break in the monotonous concrete gray
And if you just avoid me, I'm stepped on anyway.
And slip behind things
A silhouette with substance
A black hole tugging at me
And not even my gaze can escape your gravity.
You move in riddles
In opposite directions
You speak in silences
And look at everything but me
I'm a crack in the sidewalk that you have to step around.
Step on me
Oh what I would give just to be the ground you walk on
Step on me
I'm a break in the monotonous concrete gray
And if you just avoid me, I'm stepped on anyway.
I form ontologies
What's it like to be you?
I form cosmologies
What's it like to be with you?
And I look at you and I know you're everything I think you are.
You keep your head down
And slip behind things
A silhouette with substance
A black hole tugging at me
And not even my gaze can escape your gravity.
Step on me
Oh what I would give just to be the ground you walk on
Step on me
I'm a break in the monotonous concrete gray
And if you just avoid me, I'm stepped on anyway.
