Cloudspotting
[Verse 1]
Sunlight in our eyes but we'll be fine
As we watch the clouds pass by
Taking shape in our shapeless minds
As we watch the clouds pass by
[Chorus]
What do you see?
What do you see?
What do you see?
[Verse 2]
I see a house, and a home
A place somewhere I could be
I see open arms, reaching out
Reaching themselves right towards me
[Chorus]
Watching as the clouds pass by
Watching as the clouds pass by
[Verse 3]
I see wings trying to carry me away
And heels dug into the mud
I see legs ready to move again
And the face of one too scared to try to run
[Chorus]
Oh what do you see?
What do you see?
What do you see?
What do you see?
What do you see
As the clouds pass by?
[Bridge]
Wavering and waving hands
My own deep in the grass
The sky's turned purpled blue
The sun setting too fast
I don't want to say goodbye
Or tear my eyes away
From the things I can't stop seeing
Will you please just stay?
[Chorus]
After all the clouds pass by?
Watching as the clouds pass by
Watching as the stars come out
And distract our wandering minds
Oh watching as the clouds pass by
