Song Lyrics

When I found this my languaje in a way I began to speak
My soul was free on a gust of inspiration
She was soaring over the walls built with shame
Self doubt, and a midnight curfew
A form I had not yet seen engulfed me...
I was standing on the deck in the rain listening to jazz
Smoking a reefer cigarette and I swear
I swear I didn't think of you once
But I thought maybe

love is what you've been missing
Cause love is not what you've been giving
Maybe getting is all you've known till now
Or maybe you've forgotten how

he said "do you write for you or other people?"
I said "other people, I want them to see the beauty
That I can but just can not seem to touch,
Which is only a metaphor for all of us."
I said "I think I'm trying to capture a moment
I think my whole life I've been trying to capture
That moment.."
He said "one thing you can be sure of, is that you
Never will"
I thought maybe

love is what I've been missing,
Cause love is not what I've been giving
Maybe getting is all I've known till now
Or maybe I never even learned how

so I said "lets try and keep things out of the space
That divides." you said "tha cracks between where we lie"
And we lie around so much, we lie around, lie around
Lie around, we just lay around the truth. so much.
Until you are. getting, getting, getting,
Going. gone!
You are getting, getting, getting, going, gone.
You are for your love for your love
Cause I don't wanna wait today for you love. no.
I don't wanna wait today for you love.
