We hold life tight to our chest
Slip it on like a dress
We're oh so faithfully possessed
We let ourselves be owned by things long gone
Old photographs, old songs
Wrap us in gauze
Oh human child
Your face to the wind, your back to the sun
Oh human child
You're digging up bones and miss all the fun
I'm not here to save you
I'm just trying to get you outside
Get yourself out of your way
And pull your head out of the shade
A bird takes off into above
We follow with our eyes but never grab hold, never own it
That's as it should be, as it was and ever will be
So let's stop mourning, stop your sobbing
Oh human child
Your face to the wind, your back to the sun
Oh human child
You're digging up bones and miss all the fun
I'm not here to save you
I'm just trying to get you outside
Get yourself out of your way
And pull your head out of the shade
Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go
Let your beauty sing across time and stop trying to own, own, own
Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go
Some trick of the light pulls me upright
Makes me laugh out loud into the emptiness
Some pull on the hair, somebody there
Makes me stare wide-eyed into the emptiness
Oh human child
Your face to the wind, your back to the sun
Oh human child
You're digging up bones and miss every point
It's a beautiful night, I'm here to drag you outside
Pull your head out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe
It's a beautiful night, I'm here to drag you outside
Pull your ass out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe
(My sun-blessed babe)
My sun-blessed babe
(My sun-blessed baby)
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to save you
My sun-blessed baby
My sun-blessed baby
My sun-blessed baby
My sun-blessed baby
