You've Gone Away Enough

If the light takes you in

Will you know where you've been all this time

At the edge of a cliff

You could almost just slip down the side

When there's so much to do

Don't you wish you could make up your mind?

But it know it's elusive,

It grows and it burns you inside

With my eyes mostly closed

Like a person who knows how to drown

I'll squint at the sun

And my shoulders will pray for the ground

Let's throw something over,

Imagine it's us falling down

And thinking of death

We will watch without making a sound

But it's just the way you are

You don't have to be afraid

The way you look at the stars

And how you think that they were made

The motion will never stop

Turning the night into the day

You've gone away enough

When will you decide to stay

My trouble with everything

Always is nothing's just right

Just to figure out nothing

Could keep you awake half the night

Not to know what you want

Is a terrible thing you should fight

You just sift for the face of the dark

While you wait for the light
