A Day

Give me something to laugh about
All this tenderness will wind me up.
You won't come Independence Day
To watch the arrows fly so aimlessly

What has come to me?
When I have watched the universe
The discovery
That everyone
Gets common
So strange
And perfect again

A life is full, a perfect form
Still we carry it hard in our arms
I've memorized the way of things
I'll keep you around with remembering

What has come to me?
When I have watched the universe
The discovery
That everyone
Gets common
So strange
And perfect again

Everyone has moments like these
I don't want to talk about it
What can I say to you
When there's nothing to say
I will find all the reasons
And kill all the good ones
But time, after it all
It will be fine.

What has come to me?
When I have watched the universe
The discovery
That everyone
Gets common
So strange
And perfect again

With every rush of blood that comes
When the sum of you could hide the sun
I'll put it all away today
To watch the arrows fly so aimlessly
