Shimmer

Make hay while the sun is out
A shimmer to send you is all I’ve got

Die like the summer bloom
Born to be young
And reborn again

The strings we’ve tied, we don’t understand
We’ve tried and we failed at it, again and again

I try keeping up, I stand by
Arms spread, I stretch all angles wide
And I lose countless times
‘Cause sadness means something else to you
I’m not meant to know but a glimpse of it too

The scent of my fault hovers
Teardrops suspended a timeless while
Redo and regret, every dream, and every breath headed towards staying with it
‘Cause living easy, you can’t understand
You try and you fail, both hard unbound

Staying, waiting and moving along
We’ll tie them together
The strings we’ve undone
