I really relate to this song, just love it, go buy her album
"bones"
By Natalia Zukerman
If ever there was a time to tell me
If ever there was a time to touch me too long
If ever there was a time to be our time, that time is gone
Cuz you can’t say that you can’t swim
Turn around and jump on in
Say, “Come on in, the water’s fine. Why are you crying?”
If ever there was a worse time than this
If ever there was a worse idea than to kiss me
I can’t think of what it would be
I can’t think at all so help me
You can’t say that you can’t fly
Then wave to me from way on high
Say, “Come on up, the air is clear.
Why are you just standing there?”
Oh my love for you is a changing thing
Like the world outside my window
Oh my patience for you is a shrinking thing
Like bones
There’s nothing so sweet as a new friend
With no past and a present with no end
But all shiny things must fade
She’s just filling the space that you made
Cuz you can’t say that you can’t sing
Then be the song the morning brings
Sing it to me one more time
Why are you crying?
Oh my love for you
Is a changing thing like the world outside my window
Oh my patience for you
Is a shrinking thing like bones
Bones that break and bones that shatter
The bone that juts out just above your collar
The thing that shakes me to my bones
Is the thing I’ve come to know
If ever there was a time to tell me
If ever there was a time to touch me just too long
If ever there was a time to be our time, that time is gone that time is gone
Oh my love for you
Is a changing thing like the world outside my window
Oh my patience for you
Is a shrinking thing like bones
