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
