I can’t get a grip on the world
though I try and try
my heart is a golden field
you eat ice cream beside
and up above your head
is that old blue sky
faithful as a dog
waiting for you to arrive
I can’t get a grip on the world
though I’ve tried my best
my love is a gold cut
across the length of my chest
and though it tries to heal
oh those faithful platelets
not a day goes by
that something don’t open it
And I can’t get a grip on the world
oh how I would like to
this world is a magic
we are all trying to refute
but one day I’ll get brave
I’ll say “no no! it’s all true!”
and we’ll stand in a golden field
under a regal blue
Some people say you must
transcend the world
that god lives above
all the blood and the dirt
but I understand Thomas
I know what he wasn’t sure
I’ll have to touch your pretty cut
if you ever do return
