Walking backwards in my mind,
I couldn’t find a photo of the time
when two birds told me to throw the right stone
It was always problematic, like a jacket
with two holes where the pockets should be,
I don’t know why I keep walking back
Naked problems, lying there
I couldn’t be the tortoise or the hare
But two birds showed me the way to fly
Put me back up in the sky, and I know why
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop
Pencil in my pocket, so I can write to you,
letters that connect all the words I want to prove
Everything is different when I see through
into other windows, unlike what I always knew
Passing away the time,
Skipping like a stone
You’re picking every rose,
Thinking that there’s always a new one
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop
