lyrics

Will love make sense when they breach the fortress walls?
I found my journals
I’m not the boy I used to be
Here it comes on another vacant sea
Here it comes from another empty canopy

Don’t make Jamie build a clock
Just cause the tadpoles learned how to walk

Would love make sense if we sank it in the pond?
I heard grown-ups talk about their life expectancies
Here it comes from the little room upstairs
Here it comes
I have never felt so unprepared

Don’t make Jamie build a clock
Just cause the tadpoles learned how to walk

We made our castle in a tree on someone else’s property
Collected scabby eucalyptus shavings
Fortified our ranks
And shouted words into the breeze that we could barely comprehend:

“Think big.”

“Think big.”

“Think big.”

“Think big.”

"Think big."

"Think big."
