Early Spring Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like my shadow needs a hug

She's got it in her head she isn't good enough

The way she haunts me I think she really wants me to stay

In the light I know she'll always be right there

But in the dark it's like she could be anywhere

She's awful quiet and I don't quite buy it when she says:

"I'm afraid of getting better

What if I lose who I am?

What if everything I love is a hologram?"

I don't know what to say to that

I'm just like "yeah that sure would stink"

I just hope she knows she's not as powerless as she thinks

As she thinks

You've never been one for introspection

I've never been very good in crowds

You opened your heart to get my attention

But it was hidden like the moon behind a cloud

There's a non-zero chance

That we will make the same mistakes again

There's a non-zero chance

That I love you anyway

There's a fire burning in my heart forever

And it'll never go out

I don't really go out

And I've seen something clandestine

In the inner world's perfection

To explain the mystery is to love the mystery less

I know the pits of despair may destroy me

Until I am illuminated

She holds out her hand to light up the path

And I've seen dysfunction

In the face of lava spilling down the hillside

Did you see it too?

For you have experienced

An embryonic state of the universe

And you have experienced

The beautiful awakening of truth

And you have seen

The undivided mission of demagogues

And the wrath of an unconscious mind

Many un, many un, many unconscious minds

(For nothing comes of anything

But novelty and Early Spring

Nothing comes of anything

But clarity and Early Spring

Nothing comes of anything

But you)
