Like Air

Susan Lay

Waiting for the last leaf to fall
Can I hear a cry for a dead man to crawl
Asleep like stones in the well
Empty as you leave your dry seashell

I never seen you come this far
Never thought I'd hope this hard

Like Air
Always looking down upon yourself
Like Air
You live two feet above yourself
Somewhere
We will always be in parallel
Out there
It's a place without a hope in hell
Like Air

Haven't made a sound all week
Trying to gather up some promises to keep
I watched as the icicles fell
Pinned to the bottom or drowning, it's hard to tell

You may be human after all (I never seen you come this far)
Must you build yourself so tall

Like Air
Always looking down upon yourself
Like Air
You live two feet above yourself
Somewhere
We will always be in parallel
Out there
It's a place without a hope in hell
Like Air

Try to wash your trace off my skin (my skin)
Cover up the footprints I've been walking in
It's easier to cut you cold
You can keep your waste of space, I'm half way home

You may be human after all (I never seen you come this far)
Must you build yourself so tall

Like Air
Always looking down upon yourself
Like Air
You live two feet above yourself
Somewhere
We will always be in parallel
Out there
It's a place without a hope in hell
