A Running Start - Sufjan Stevens
Lyrics by:Sufjan Stevens
If I imagine myself peaceful on the fire escape
Head first my hands inside my T shirt as we run away
So now we have a running start
My body moves in mystic ways
I cross my arms to shield my heart
As everything turns into waves
I see the light upon the lake
The silver moon the water snake
A pair of eyes a gentle breeze
Forgotten tales a wild beast
I know I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss
Don't go my lovely pantomime receive of me my only wish
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
If I align myself with Pisces in a funny way
Can you my lover kiss my bracelet and my shoulder blades
We've always had a running start
I jump between the trampolines
You throw your arms around my heart
As if to say you're all I need
The winter pines the lonely drake
The light beneath the frozen lake
