lyrics

Somewhere focused on herself
Retired to the land she owns
Only twirls upward, smiling as she climbs
Tending to her sky

A village queen on Sunday, a warrior on Monday
Married a token loner - somewhere I feel so holy

Cut to present
I flounder daily
She may be a friend but I wish she knew me
I wish she knew herself

The master bedroom sits above
Descending on our manger's mud
Her grip inside me runs amok
I need to tell her I'm in love, but I won't - no I won't

I live alone in my little world
Surrounded by her glowing whirl
I may renown her troubled stunts
Can she believe in what's to come? She won't, no she won't
So let go, let go

Tell me why, tell me how, tell me when, tell me now

Behold the love that leads you on
It cheats, it hides, it rolls along
You must not aggravate this song
It's all you got when you're led on - you're young
So move on, move on

Tell me why, tell me how, tell me when, tell me now
