lyrics

Always two minutes before the right time
Or sometimes maybe three past
Floating too slow to ever reach the shore
Or sometimes circling to fast

Butterflies coming in through your window
Amidst an oneiric storm
Their wings fluttering words to keep you fed
Descending whirls to keep you warm

Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string
Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string

Always two footsteps before the right place
Or sometimes maybe three past
The hands of time do a freer dance
And at times they freeze aghast

At bullets blooming after being shot
And crosses that cherish the noughts
Amaranthine impressions, unspoken loves
Murmurations of starling-winged thoughts

Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string
Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string

In another universe
You left the table before I came
To the bar in this city
Where it’s always two a.m.

In another universe
I cling to every nip
I dote on every crumb
Immerse in every sip

Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string
Oh, it must all be so easy
On a different string
