Making My Way to the Ground

out in back with the smoke in my nose
wondering where long summers go
there's no time to get tangled in meaning
i don't even know what it means to love

up on the top of a high connotation
i'm feeling my way to the edge of a notion
and keeping my grip on the shape of a lie
and finding the heights of the lights of the sky

i don't even know what it means to fall
unless falling is making my way to the ground
i guess i'm coming down

rode on the river
miles on the moon
swim in the light there
in the afternoon

and i don't even know what it means to love
unless the love is the fire that i light for you
i don't even know what it means to love
unless the love is the fire that i light for you
