(Chorus 1) When I see lighting feels like my buzz is heightening Every time I feel the sun I can smell the love And every time I smell the air I can hear a child trying But every time I hear a river I think the mother is crying It was a purple purple sky and an orange orange moon And everyone was whistling the same tune Except Bryan Bryan stared out across the field And watched the horizon blossom to copper feel Off of the edge of the world The one we're all afraid to walk Rational for why we're so high off of the small talk But Bryan knows where the crows all go To find the If's and the And's and the But's and Also's (Chorus 2) If I could run through the woods and speed like the light I'd find the answers to why and be back by tonight If I could fly through the fog and look at this rock I'd figure out how to sweep hell off of my block But as it stands I stay content Trying to be the magic man trying pay my rent Stayed bent trying to turn on the secrets you sought While we're still burning the dawn just to keep the day hot They slipped hidden messages into the cards that they dealt Trying understand myself and all the sorrow I felt For as simple as I am, how'd i get so complex? Got me studying the margins and disregarding the text I open the curtains and listen to the traffic go But i still get nervous each time a piece pa**es go The residue is thick and the memory fails I still laugh because the path feels a lot like a trail (Chorus 2) If I could run through the woods and speed like the light I'd find the answers to why and be back by tonight If I could fly through the fog and look at this rock I'd figure out how to sweep hell off of my block But as it stands I stay content Trying to be the magic man trying pay my rent Stayed bent trying to turn on the secrets you sought While we're still burning the dawn just to keep the day hot We used to be lost walking these hallways with pride Drunk or sober life was nothing short of roller coaster rides Used to trip off the music speak to the rhythm All we wanted out of life was living And when you pa**ed I wanted to take back the time we wasted I'd trade all the buzzes in for one more conversation We could sit in the shade and discuss the meaning of sacred Because I can't see the garden no more just the aphids But the wind still blows and the plants still grow And I wish your name was on my guest list to my shows I want you to see me find my freedom Because you got to meet the Son before you got to meet my son (Chorus 1) And when I see the lighting feels like my buzz is heightening Every time I feel the sun I can smell the love And every time I smell the air I can hear a child trying But every time I hear a river I think the mother is crying
