Lyrics
Give me a minute
Request for a brief moment of time
I'm just starting to crawl
Just beginning a slow and uncertain progress
Maybe a second
Perhaps a short duration
Leaves me craving for more
Leaving a desire for more
Maybe my world'd start to fit
Possibly my world will start to make sense
In the pictures i draw
In the images I create
Or maybe the love that we fixed
Or maybe the love we've repaired
Will crash at the shore
Could fail dramatically
And if I
Contemplating the consequence
Stay too long
If I linger for too long
Then I
Then uncertainty prevails
Can't be sure
Cannot be certain
If Venice can sink
Raising the possibility of Venice sinking
And all that it thinks
All that Venice contemplates
Can be lost in a blink of an eye
Can vanish suddenly
So can I
I, too, can experience a sudden loss
So can I
Reiteration of the potential for personal loss
Maybe the answers
Speculation about the proximity of answers
Aren't as far as we think
Occasionally, lessons leave lasting impressions
Sometimes the lessons
Lessons can be more enduring than written words
Stain deeper than ink
Expressing the depth of impactful experiences
Oh don't you wanna keep her close
Desire to keep someone close
Even though she's not around
Even when physically absent
But sometimes it's better not to see
Recognition of the value of not seeing sometimes
We come as we are
We present ourselves as we are
And if I
Contemplating the consequence (repeated)
Stay too long
If I stay for an extended period
Then I
Uncertainty persists
Can't be sure
Cannot be certain (repeated)
If Venice can sink
Raising the possibility of Venice sinking (repeated)
And all that it thinks
All that Venice contemplates (repeated)
Can be lost in a blink of an eye
Can vanish suddenly (repeated)
So can I
I, too, can experience a sudden loss (repeated)
So can I
Reiteration of the potential for personal loss (repeated)
So if I
If I stay for too long (repeated)
Stay too long
Emphasizing the potential consequences of staying
Don't think I
Expressing doubt about certainty
Can be sure
Cannot be certain (repeated)
If Venice will sink
Raising the possibility of Venice sinking (repeated)
And I can't resist
Unable to resist the allure of pain in someone's eyes
The look of the pain in your eyes
Desire for closeness and comfort
Hold me tight
Expressing the need for intimacy
At least for the night
Request for temporary closeness
