Hello? Lyrics

I awoke before dawn

And I threw on some clothes

I walked into the cold winter air

The air dampened my lips

And exploded in my lungs

Just like a friendly firework

And I started to feel less like a bag of warm fluid

And more like a being of cool consciousness

And I realized that this blood should stay in my veins

Because why should I want to cause myself pain

And I swam through the air

Like a sturdy nylon kite

And let the wind pull at my hair

Then I filled up my lungs

Like a car I need fuel

And I breathed in all of these secrets

Hello and goodbye

They really mean the same

It's the same movement of a hand

The wave of a palm

It speaks without pain

Yet can perfectly pronounce our little names

Now I realize this is something that won't be long

So at least I know that you and me have this song

No, this will not last

Like the sand in a glass

But eventually someone has to flip the sand

Yes, eventually someone has to flip the sand
