Half a million thoughts







Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

A satellite recalled your voice
Sent me round the world again
All the night you've dreamt away
Sent me round my heart again
One touch upon my lips
And all my thoughts are clear
I feel your smoky mist
Up to the stratosphere

Did you notify my way
To hide a wonder why
I've touched this place before,
So we're in another time
Now I can hear the sound
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

Did you notify my way
To hide a wonder why
I've touched this place before,
So we're in another time
Now I can hear the sound
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

Take me away, see I've got to explain things that have changed in such a permanent way








And now it's just gone after dark
And we move to the other part of it
Secret part of your restless heart
To glide past every city light
Like a satellite careering through the sky
This color, this summer night

It's your heart, it's your heart
That gives me this western feeling

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where









''Fuck, this hurts so much.'' 
'' I know it hurts. That's life. If nothing else, It's life. It's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have.''
''

''By the way, it says BALLS on your face.''

'' Sometimes I lie. I mean, I'm weird, man. About random stuff too, I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, Wow, that wasn't even remotely true. ''

'' This isn't a conversation about this being over, I'm not, like, putting a period at the end of this, you know, I'm putting, like, an ellipsis on it, cause I'm worried that if I don't figure myself out, if I don't go like land on my own two feet, then I'm just gonna to mess this whole thing up, and this is too important. You changed my life in four days. This is the beginning of something really big. But right now, I gotta go. ''

''Yeah, the ellipsis, it's dumb. It's dumb. It's an awful idea. I'm not gonna do it, okay? Cause like you said, this is it. This is life. And I'm in love with you... I think that's the only thing I've ever really been sure of in my entire life. ''
''If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like.''

''How are you feelin'? ''
'' Safe. When I'm with you I feel so safe. Like I'm home.''

If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like





It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when we know we should fold
On rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
And of the whole mess of roads we're now on
