Even The Stars Can Be Hollow

(album: Hummingbird - 2018)

I trust that everything that happened to us
Happened so we'd improve
Everything is proof
Everything you do

But you've got the softest arms
I have ever known
The softest arms that I could hold
Or that could hold me

Travel far away
Where the neighbors talk
And I'll go away
To an adjacent park
I want to go to doose's market
Or anywhere there's a doose's

Because even the softest arms
Can't bear to hold
Such a fragile frame
Such a broken soul
I've got a broken soul
Like a beam of light

(I'm alive, and with your body close to mine
I am suddenly occupied
With the reasons that I could try
To be something that you would like
Like a star in the open sky
Like a beam of light)
