Still

And all we have
I shake from knowing the distance from the ground
I learned to live with it
I learned to deal with it
The birds, their song
They wake up songs that I printed in my brain
Oh the time we miss
I’ll crawl out of this
I want to love, I want to set down roots
I want to feel the comforts and the still
And all we say
We said it’s not a burden but a gift
I guess I’ll go with it
I guess I’ll deal with it
I have to try
Just terrified of swimming in the deep
But I can tread awhile
Until I plant my feet
I want to love, I want to set down roots
I want to feel the comforts and the still
I have to know the critic’s point of view
'Cause I’m scared, am I alone?
We’ll get all dressed up and no one knows
Let’s wash the dishes in the morning
'Cause tonight we’re gonna dance on our toes
