You Don't See

(album: The Grand Garden - 2008)

Well, I can't move the weight in your eyes
And where's the switch to pull the tide?
Can a liar be your hero?
I just wanna be your friend
When the cat creeps out, out again
Knowing the chalk's out on the pillow
Cause you won't win til you begin
To see the days get older
With bottlecaps, less on their pages

You don't see, you don't see
You were never free
Life killing you
Love killing me
And you don't know, you don't know
When it's your time to go
But I feel today
Is slipping away from me

When you're young, there is a garden
And there's a light that makes you grow
But can you see beyond the fireflies?
And see the diamonds in your hand
See the hourglass of sand
See where beautiful is in disguise
Sweet goodwill, where have you been?
Cause there's been a lot of talking
That there's a blanket on your pretty face

You don't see, you don't see
You were never free
Life killing you
Love killing me
And you don't know, you don't know
When it's your time to go
But I feel today
Is slipping away from me

You don't see, you don't see
You were never free
Life killing you
Love killing me
And you don't know, you don't know
When it's your time to go
But I feel today
You're slipping away

You don't see, you don't see
That you were never free
Life killing you
Love killing me
And you don't know, you don't know
When it's your time to go
But I feel today
You're slipping away from me
