Mysterious Creature

You were out where the tidal waves go

Coming to the lifeguard’s rescue

I tossed lightning off of a rainbow

Just for a chance to impress you

 

I’ve been looking for a change in the light

But nothing’s moving at all

Thought I heard your voice in the night

Thought I saw you fall

 

Sometimes we are just like strangers

Sometimes we adjust to strangeness

 

We need brand new words

To say the same old things

Icarus’ll never reach new worlds

With the same old wings

 

Don’t want to plan for the future

This second is all we’ve really got

Feel like some mysterious creature

Touched, but never really caught

 

You were whistling your favorite song

Past the graveyard again

I would like to come sing along

We’ll figure out what happens from then
