lyrics

The skies return to
A deceptive reasoning
A blue mistake
That only June can make

And it always gets me
It just seems so plausible
I'm a captive willing
To change what I perceive
So I can believe
This is not fleeting

And it's always ending
And it always starts again
And a falling seed
Bears witness to its end
And leaves portend
That which is fleeting

As these borrowed days go by
I'm just trying to
Be here now
In this time
With you

And it always gets me
It just seems so plausible
I'm a captive willing
To change what I perceive
So I can believe
This is not fleeting
