about

Ahhh it's too personal to go into haha. I tried to do one of those cool Andy McKee style things in the middle of the song though.

lyrics

And the spaces between were so wide 'n elongated
I thought I'd combust when it got to the spend
Oh and feeling around, think of time that we'd wasted
Spaces apart like a means to an end.

And the face that you made, had its place in the middle,
And vastly I made what I thought I was in.
Woah, and sleeping aloud, you were talking in riddles,
But amazingly I understood everything

So it began, like it never ended.
I took it slightly,and made no vow
I never thought it real like I pretended
But you taught me how.

Fleeting it was, and in no way sustaining
Cut like a branch that was busting to sway.
Beating it out, I'm in no way complaining
Do you not understand what I'm meaning to say?

Just lay my head, upon the foreign dirt here
And water it lightly, inhale the clay
But all I can do, is sit and wait it out dear
I taught you to fly, so now fly away.

So then it starts, like it never ended.
I took it lightly, I get it now
It never turned into what I intended
But you taught me to reach, you taught me to teach
And I taught you to fly, so now fly away.


And the face that you made, was the face of an angel
