Was the whole other side of the day

Oh, but look at you now

Bright-eyed somehow

不知为何，神采奕奕

And swaying to a song that ain't playing out loud

还伴着一首无声的歌摇摆

And I lose the thread

我又理不清头绪

Like, forget what I said

I'm a deer in the headlights again

She carves the dolls and pulls the strings

In your hands and still out of reach somehow

Or honey, whatever it is

...

The revelry levels, eventually petals

Of normalcy settle again

Is just inches from heaven, I guess

A glow in the margins, maybe that's just what heaven is

And it's nearly unbearable

That it will not submit to the touch

Lovely and terrible

That there's no way to touch it

No way to tame it
