"I Had To Say This" lyrics

"I Had To Say This"

Nightingales all summer long
Beside me in my mind
One and one is nine, the moon
The June, moths, and the quiet

I have never really been here
If I am alive
Am I just a photograph
Inside a printed night?

How much further can we drive?
And how much can I take?
Am I just a monograph
Inside a printed shape?
