Lauren’s Song

[Verse 1]
When you are scared that you are passing
Through the design of our mouse hole life
For a fire that burns up the summer
A patchwork of trees and meteor nights

[Chorus]
It's not true, true
It's not true, true
I need you

[Verse 2]
Though I am able and I am hungry
For the parade of runaway vans
Careless the song I sing for you sometimes
The salt that I hold in my dumb hands

[Chorus]
It's not true, true
It's not true, true
I need you

[Bridge]
Inside I hold the evening shared with you
On the couch watching a movie
Outside the blizzard hums a tune
We know but cannot place
Like a puzzle can amaze
Or the smile upon your loving face
Nothing else really matters

[Verse 3]
Love is the ground on which I am camping
I don't own the land but it's fine for the night
And when I am short on breath and climbing
I'll follow the prints you left in the snow
And faith is a word I don't use often
Not for the clouds whatever they mean
And not for the place where I reap my profits
The salt that I hold in my dumb hands

[Outro]
What else can I say besides I love you?
What else can I say besides I need you?
What else can I say besides I love you?
What else can I say besides I need you?
