From No Height

lt's the street lights going out
Like a trick the second time
And it's all these oily lines I've left
From pooling in a basin
Just washing up the sides
It's the roots under the pavement
Something moving in the background
It's a jacket on a hook behind the door
All these things l could've sworn I'd figured out
Depicting my ascent, I guess l got too far ahead
Watching steps, I lost my count
l thought too hard about the end
And when it comes, for sake of pace
l don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far far, from no height
And I fall so far behind
lt's a paper with the answer
Edges soaking in my patience
Though l missed a crucial digit
Still an honest calculation
It's a stick between the spokes
With a sudden change of light
And in the moment that I thought
You might want to stick around
Heard you turn and say goodnight
l was still one step behind
Depicting my ascent, I guess l got too far ahead
Watching steps, I lost my count
l thought too hard about the end
And when it comes, for sake of pace
l don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far far, from no height
And I fall so far behind
Depicting my ascent, I guess l got too far ahead
Watching steps, I lost my count
l thought too hard about the end
And when it comes, for sake of pace
l don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far far, from no height
