April, We Can Break Through If We Try
[Verse 1]
You body fades into the backlight
The long day is ending
While somewhere it begins
Our fingers wind to one another
But you see a world between us
Twirling on the head of a pin
[Pre-Chorus]
And April, we are not just two
You are not just you
And a thread runs through this
In time will I leave what's mine?
Will we learn to push the world away?
[Chorus]
'Cause April this only eggshell
We can break through if we try
There is nothing real that separates
The vision from the eye
And April must we be divided
When effortless you read my mind?
For the singing hears the sparrow
And the blue gives birth to sky
And April comes to clean the winter
Burns the grey and black to green
In your breath I spring the forest wild
To reach beyond the screen
April do you hear my hearing?
Are the islands not connected
By some mythic engineering?
We can bridge the space between
[Verse 2]
I swear I had a dream through your eyes
And in the morning
I did not know who I was
We clutch to weathervanes and sundials
Praying for the moon to pull us
Closer into one
[Pre-Chorus]
And April don't you give up now
Crying on account
Of the skin that binds you
I feel summer's coming soon
When the moths and trees and the heart entwine
[Chorus]
'Cause April this only eggshell
We can break through if we try
There is nothing real that separates
The vision from the eye
And April must we be divided
When effortless you read my mind?
For the singing hears the sparrow
And the blue gives birth to sky
And April comes to clean the winter
Burns the grey and black to green
In your breath I spring the forest wild
To reach beyond the screen
April do you hear my hearing?
Are the islands not connected
By some mythic engineering?
We can bridge the space between
