lyrics

& when i got a lot of mind to make sure i'm feeling right
i always gotta know, "what am i doing here?"

cuz i can never be still
never can find my fill
i think i gotta go
over there

i am standing awkwardly in the rain
trying to stay on land
but i dunno what to do with my hands

and if i cannot live the now i will sow
where the gardens roam
take a picture of the trove
if i find my home

waiting for the day in my life
where i grow my head in the ground
to find the life i never knew i had
i stretch all my limbs
and groan the old hymn
my bones are on display
i never learned to bury the clay
to find rest on a restless day

i've gotta know
but if i know what it means
i don't know what i mean anymore
and if i try to go to the center of my life
i will cancel me out
where Adam lost his way
with nowhere else to stay
and all he knew what to do
was fidget and pray
and bury lies in the pillow
make a robe from his shadow
now we walk a maze in our bloated shoes
trying to feel tall next to you
but it's not a maze
without a way of breaking through
