lyrics

I lay underground
you fly overhead
if i understood that sound
if i'm changing what you said

to the easiest line
for the quickest to find
the big bang they heard
at the beginning of time
holding on to you

i ran overhead
you move underground
when you move outside my head
when you never come around

to the easiest line
for the quickest to find
how to act like a thought
cause it crossed your mind

i lay underground
you rise overhead
if i understood that sound
if you're changing what you said
holding on to me

you lay on the ground
i am overhead
and we understand that sound
there's no changing what was said
holding on

we will persist in ours
we grew out of the triangle fires
dreams dry up
watch a bobcat chase a rabbit
disappear down a branch of habit
bold to think
that i am not
what i am

and the easiest line
was the quickest to find
the big bang we heard
at the beginning of our lives
