Through days like empty fields after the harvest
This ache where the heart is
Like a tree that´s bare, ´neath a sky that´s starless
Like something out of place

I feel all used up I feel tarnished
Like smudged eyeliner, chipped nail varnish
Like something scarcely visible garnished
With a face

Think I might be done with this final strawness
This pick your heart back up off the floorness
This less that´s certainly not moreness
This bitter aftertaste
This rotten right down to the coreness
This beat your fists on the doorness
This myness this yourness
Well in any case
I know that love is bigger
Than this dumb day to day
I see its shining figure
Fighting for scraps out in the melee

Tell me I got this turned around the wrong way
Tell me I got it mixed up in my head
Feels like I´m left here standing on the runway
A fleeting thought that barely registers

So imagine gazing up
Into the great dispassionate eyes that observe us
Head slightly tilted to one side the way a bird does
Staring quizzically
At all our silly little lies, our absurd loves
Our scratching at the surface
Clowns throwing custard pies in the circus
Of our vanity

And I know that love is bigger
Than this grim day to day
I see its shining figure

Fighting for scraps out in the melee
And maybe I should know better
Than to take it personally
When the hand that wrote the love letter
Decides to write you out the story
Maybe I got this turned around the wrong way
Could be I got it mixed up in my head
Feels like I´m left here standing on the runway
A fleeting thought that barely registers

So now the moment of truth is finally upon us
Take a look in my eyes see how much I want this
As I stand here astonished
Scraping off the filth
Cutting away this stifling bodice
Underneath a brand new skin like a goddess
Words forming on my lips like a promise
To myself

I know that love is bigger
Than this dumb day to day
I watch its shining figure
Fighting for scraps out in the melee
