it's that time in the spring now
everything's singing
and I'm trying to listen
I don't want to miss anything
it's the height of the season
o radiant June
the city's awake now
it's looking for you
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
I'd give anything for anything other than this
but here it is
I know I'm not your witness
and you're not my muse
you're just as gone as I am here now
there's nothing as strange as the truth
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
I'd give anything for anything other than this
but here it is
when I wandered in circles
you were there all the same
just as patient in presence
as you were fierce in the chase
when I feel like a stranger
lost inside my own shame
I remember your kindness
I remember your grace
when I forget I love music
when I forget my own name
I hear you call me back...
up on the mountain and down in the bars
in the light of a moment of love in the dark
there's an echo of you in this luminous bliss
here it is

a bold statement. while I can't say I'm deeply in love of every moment of it, there's something about it that speaks to me quite strongly. highly recommended Watching Nebula
