lyrics

I hope I'm as smart as I think I am
Through the conversations we breathe
There are treasures in the morning
That last all afternoon
I hope to God I can see straight

I could hold my breath forever
Breathing in old shadows
I might get it yet
I might just get it yet

It's the space between it that
Keeps me swallowing this halo
In hopes that my bursting veins
Will restore
I want to kiss you on the eyes as a reward
For having no use for me

I might get it yet
I might just get it right
I might get it yet
I might just get it yet
I hope I'm as smart as I think I am
