Lovestreams - The Line Breaks lyrics

{Verse 1} The line breaks are what takes it From a sentence to a song Like the light from the hills To the lake it plays on Makes a day, say it's May Say it's noon I can see it so clear {Verse 2} Like your shoes were what made You so naked, it's true That your blues and your bruises The aching you knew They make you you Which is all that you can be with It's been I don't know how many years {Verse 3} In the flecks of white paint On the face of a Mexican Saint statuette in the dark of a Texas Launderette I saw my whole future appear {Verse 4} I saw sun bursts and blazes My vision, it flew To the most decent places Saw you, you had numerous Faces You were hiding, but I saw you clear {Verse 5} Oh, girl, throw me down Roll me home, show me your heart Who you secretly are Get me off, sing me songs Show me stars How they're swooping down, nearer and nearer {Verse 6} You're a raw apparition My vision goes solar and splinters I'll hold you through summers and winters Don't wither Just like everything living down here Well, you wanted me to be sincere {Verse 7} With your eyelashes glued on And long fingernails On the couch that was screwed on The street where we all failed To make it new I can see it {Verse 8} I'm up, I jump from my chair And I claw and I swing at the air My imagined pursuers can flee Or can stare Or can come out, come closer, come here Well, come on {Verse 9} 'Til your faces fall down As your days all burn past In a blaze {?} That feeling feels safe Honey, you've got to know that that's wrong Should I come by? I know it's late in the day, just to wave goodbye? {Verse 10} Like a line in a guestbook It's only to say That an old song is best At the end of the day Hold your breath Close your eyes, just halfway Doesn't that feel like living? 'Cause it feels like we've got no clue What we're given
