I tied your shoes while you sat and watched the rain Hands folded across your lap, and the dull look of peace across your face Mom down the hall, Bible pressed to her chest She swore the Devil hides in everything, and her room was the only safe haven left She watched us grow through windowpanes Something in the middle, something in the middle Something in the middle, something's in the way You held my hand while the wind whistled nocturnes in the dark Something in the middle, something in the middle Something in the middle, something's in the way We never knew what it meant to be whole and free Something in the middle, something in the middle Something in the middle, something's in the way We knew what we lost if we strayed from paths only they could see But sink or swim is all they'd say Your hand rode the wind out the window of the train We slept in our seats with our knees curled beneath our dirty chins Dad gripped the bags like they might fly away And the scenery beyond the glass was liquid, we sat and soaked it in I felt your breath along the way I'd hold your hand when the sky fell apart And you'd hold my hand if you felt me slipping back into the dark Can't tell from the ground if the sky will fall Can't tell from the sky if there's anybody down there at all It's empty hands or empty plates

I was just a boy My father seemed a mountain then With a voice that could shake the seas My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders And he said she was still watching over me My brother was home Just returned on army leave Told his stories with a distant stare And as it snowed The wind was howling through the trees And I spent my night just listening by the fire My hands move the creases from my brow Soft as a breath It's like a feather I dreamed of a lonely voice that night Quiet as death Outside my window It sang a sad and lovely tune Clear as a bell Soft as a shiver It said, I want you all the time It said, I want you all the time Goodbye bad thoughts I'm safe under covers So goodbye bad thoughts 'Cause I'm safe under covers Now I can see you again

Back when I used to wander, I was always out looking for signs But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air We all believed in something, but like you, I can't say why It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears Hold me to the light, let me shine Come hold me to the floor and say, "It's alright" Come hold me 'neath the water's skin until I'm new again And I said what I was thinking Now, you can't see what's good 'til it's gone Then there's something to be said for a place to lay your head You told me I was simple And you injured me with that piece of my mind And I listened to the creek, and it did much more for me I'll hold you to the light, let you shine I'll hold you against the floor and say, "It's alright" 'Cause down beneath the water's skin, where we will swim And there's diamonds on the surface then And they'll come clean us, we'll both live again These days, I barely wander And I don't need no more of them signs I'll just breathe in all that air and be happy that it's there
