lyrics

Frozen in this Moment

The dahlias you planted are blooming in the garden
Watching from the window our hearts begin to harden
I know that I’d feel better if I did what you said
It’s hard to say uncle the word gets stuck in my head

Hope is just a thing that people say
We know what they mean anyway

I know you’re better than me
And made me better by degrees
Still it’s unimaginable
To see this glass half full

Sitting in the kitchen I reach out for your hand
As things inside your body continue to expand
I can’t see a future with how things have aligned
Wishing for the power to somehow freeze time

Hope is just a thing that people say
We know what they mean anyway

I know you’re better than me
And made me better by degrees
Still it’s unimaginable
To see this glass half full

It’s getting kind of crazy
I know things need to change
Everything seems shaky
And I’m feeling deranged

Birds are in the feeder making such a racket
I’m on the guitar but I am out of practice
Lying in the grass reading your new novel
Frozen in this moment forgetting all our problems
