lyrics

Pillow forts & all sorts of childish constructions
I am keeping beans in my pocket, beans in my pocket
Just in case the giants are real
Just in case I’m starting to feel a tremor

My tender feet are finally unbooted
Tiny as they touch down on the ground
On the grass, I find my center

Can I keep it? Can I keep quiet?
Breathe in, breathe out, keep it at bay
Silence, be still, striking my balance
Rise to challenge, don’t scare it away

Finally, finally, finally it falls into place
Finally, I fall into you

But it’s just too small
It’s ripping at the seams
It seems I’m growing faster than I thought
It’s not anybody’s fault, but I can’t keep it on any longer

So I run out of this construction
I run into the forest to hide
I’m heaving, heap into a sweaty pile
At least I’m getting stronger

Can I keep it? Can I keep quiet?
Breathe in, breathe out, keep it at bay
Silence, be still, striking my balance
Rise to challenge, don’t scare it away

Finally, finally, finally it falls into place
Finally, I fall into

You / I’m getting
You / I’m getting better
You / At letting myself rest

Finally, finally, finally it falls into place
Finally, I fall into
