about

first song i wrote and was happy with, and the only song from history to make it onto the album. life telling you, 'I'm here, come play.'

lyrics

can you feel it getting nearer
like a roll of thunder flashing 'cross the wind?
can you feel it getting clearer
like a flash of inspiration getting nearer?

curled up at my feet you're waking
no one leaves me with these feelings
am i supposed to be blase?
let's not draw straws -

i want you to stay...

can you say you're better for it
like when destiny gives you her bitter pills?
and is it cool when
she comes calling
brings you cream and cake, says
take what you deserve

curled up at my feet you're waking
no one leaves me with these feelings
am i supposed to be blase?
let's not draw straws -

i want you to stay...

you'll be making plans for where we're going
i'll be making sure we never stay still

can you feel it's nearly over
like something familiar that you
thought you'd never lose
can you bring me to the surface
and bring the revolution slowly rolling in

curled up at my feet you're waking
no one leaves me with these feelings
am i supposed to be blase?
let's not draw straws -

i want you to stay...
