lyrics

Sci Fi and Sad Songs

I’ve got so much to tell you though it might just be a waste,
like sowing in desert sand and praying for the rain,
or writing on guitar when you haven’t learned to play.
That’s how I want you, my bear.

There’s a ray of sun out this morning, a gentle summer breeze,
a bird that learned how to fly on broken wings.
Poets always write about the beauty in these things,
but I just write about you, my bear.

Been gone so long, that I can’t tell where we belong.
In sci fi, or sad songs (that just go on and on and on)?

I know you can’t see me so I just won’t be around.
I know you can’t hear me so I’ll have to write it down.
I can’t be on your cloud so I’ll be right here on the ground,
and turn it into sound, my bear.

But is that the end to the story? Is the outcome guaranteed?
Do the rich ones get a do-over? Does someone have a time machine?
Or choose your adventure, just go back to 33,
where there’s a you and me, my bear?

Been gone so long, that I can’t tell where we belong.
In sci fi, or sad songs (that just go on and on and on)?

Though I long for you I like to think there’s other worlds as well,
And one where you might know the thought of me
or touch or sound or smell, and there, well...

Like a choir sings hallelujah, or a lightbulb turning on,
you’d know the way you left me was a sad song.
You’d find my arms open and know that’s where you belong,
‘cause we were meant to be, my bear

Been gone so long, that I can’t tell where we belong.
In sci fi, or sad songs (that just go on and on and on)?
