lyrics

clumsy!
we lost our confidence in an old friend
our sense of the significance of this thing
clumsy! we seem to have forgotten
why we loved or how we loved
we lost it though we're quite sure where we put it
that we wrapped it and kept it
never once suffocating it
we let it run real free and let it be really real
let it come to us to be loved like a baby
didn’t we?
well, we seem to have forgotten
how we loved
in a grey and golden
we didn’t have time for any war
we were too busy being holy
it was a work that had to be done
not for someone but by someone
if there was something wonderful
something you could do only once in your life
would you do it now?

later we went to see the exhibit
of the Sunset Ice Cream Truck
and the Burning House
and oh we liked you evening light and so wanted some truth
didn't we?
eavesdropping on him conversing
all smart in cotton button-down
the haircut of an academic and such
markers of identity spoke right
into this desire for his happiness and knowledge
or rather that rare fusion of the two

sometimes we forget a day before it's even over
sometimes we see right through someone and
in panic do nothing
