O'Familiarity

(album: Last Night Stars - 2006)

Oh I am familiar with clear sky
And the knowledge that I am alive
I am lying in a hospital bed
Waiting on a staff to arrive
There are birds outside my window
They are squealing in a nest with their feet
Now, I understand that yearning
My heart has a similar need

Familiarity and broken bones
Some stones they never get turned
And it should never have come to blows
The lessons we haven't yet learned
Oh, my sullen heart, my twisted nerve
My word that means two things at once
We never did agree upon
What the word actually was

Oh, love, I am scared
You're all that I need
Oh, lov,e I am scared
For a [?]
Oh, love, I am scared
You're all that I know
Oh, love, I should have known that you'd go

O'familiarty and [?]
They're both wonderful gifts
But I will take pains[?] to remember that
Next time [?]
But I am broke, I am a mirror
I am seven years, all of them but one
You come to me with a smile on your face
[?] that you took

Oh, love, I am scared
You are all that I need
Oh, love, I am scared
For a heart [?]
Oh, love, I am scared
You, you're all the I know
Oh, love, I should've have known that you'd go
