I Want To See You

I want to see you

The way you the way you see yourself

I want to see you

The way you see yourself

I want to understand your pain,

And know exactly where it rains inside your soul

I want to see you

The way the flowers know the grave

I want to see you

The way the flowers know the grave

I want to tie around your head,

Every silly word you said when you were still easy.

I've been fighting just to keep you holding on,

And it ain't getting any easier to give or get along

If we can't breath, in the sky, we are stars,

We are free to swell beyond our childhood dreams

In the fire, we are flames, we are broken

I want to heal you

When the fruit's still in your hand

I want to heal you

When the fruit's still in your hand

I want to rearrange the trees and make a shelter

from the leaves

Where you can be pure again
