G C G C
Looking out on the river bend
G C G C
Looking out on the thing that isn't

Looking out on the freeway's push and pull

Looking out for the current

Little spells of forgetfulness
G C G C
Little sounds that are shrill and urgent

Little insects that sting as they come and go

Little moments of purpose

I missed you

Where are you now?

Some sad independence

I want to be just as loud

All this freedom just freaks me out
