"Words" lyrics

Big Thief Lyrics

"Words"

At night when I'm sleeping
I feel you breathing
It's subconscious
Subconscious
Only ever half-home, I'm
Only ever half-alone
With my subconscious mind
Subconsciously

It takes so much time
To find a line
Now I'm higher than I've ever been
Fire's taking oxygen

Words are tired and tense
Words don't make sense
Words are feathered and light
Words won't make it
Right

I'm walking down the street
Humming this melody on repeat
It's subconscious
Subconscious
I find you in a cafe
We proceed to only half-say
So self-conscious
So self-conscious

It takes so much time
To feel alive
Now I'm higher than I've ever been
Fire's taking oxygen

Words are tired and tense
Words don't make sense
Words are feathered and light
Words won't make it
Right
