4/4. A very messy, slightly late and very heartfelt Tuesday original. I wrote most of this a week after returning home from Germany. Lyrics below:

I went weightless
Into the water last summer
Baptized in youth
The ocean round my waist
I’ve always been this way
I was always meant to
I’ve always had these thoughts
I’ve always told them not
To you
But I had something to offer
When I went weightless
Into the water

So I flew away
Into a sea cloud
Landed in grasses that looked familiar
I was never told how
And I don’t belong here
But do I belong there
Do I belong to a place or a name or an old love affair
Cause I had something to offer
When I went tainted
Into new waters

And all these people
In the crowds I walk through
They act like they’re full on love
Don’t worry it’ll never reach you
Cause I feel [their] empty
But they don’t listen to twenty
I have something to offer
Aren’t you somebody’s daughter
I was pushed down by angels
Under the water
Under the water

Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Cause I’ll have found it without maps and without oxygen
I’d have nothing to offer
If I went nameless
Into somebody’s waters
And I could poison the water
If I went nameless
Into somebody’s offers

I want to drive now
Go till the sky changes colors
I’ll change with it I’ll learn how
To add and subtract its wonders
I could move to Seattle
Cause I heard it rains
A good cleanse from my travels
But what about Maine
I’ve always been this way
I’ve always been this way
I’ve always been this way
