SkyBabyRecords: Music & Lyrics

In Your Own Way

(Cellarscape)

your song
comes on whenever we meet up in the same way,
and you hide,
but in this beat we know what you’re saying.
and you move your feet in time,
just like the other day, your favourite rhyme.
it’s quiet,
but in the dark i feel the first take playing.

stop this one, make your call.
stop this one, make your call.

and here i go,
from time to time, retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
and here i go,
from time to time, retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
i hear you, i hear you, again.

the walk that you did with those books kept us laughing,
and so slow, trip over at the right point, downward spiraling.
and you spill those delicate vibes
just like the first day, a favourite bind,
and it’s light, ‘cause in the dark we see fluorescent lining.

stop this one, make your call.
stop this one, make your call.

and here i go,
from time to time, retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
and here i go, from time to time,
retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
i hear you, i hear you, again.

stop this one, make your call.
stop this one, make your call.

air off of the waves, it leads me there,
it leads me there.
air off of the waves, it leads me there,
it leads me there.
and here i go,
from time to time, retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
and here i go,
from time to time, retrace your steps,
with my back against the river i hear you.
