The Absence of Wavelength

to the back we sing

twang, twang
is that okay?
you look the other way
my confusion apparent
your back, what I was staring at

I've been wanting to share
the ups and downs,
how to turn over a frown
but my strings might be too tight
i'll adjust tonight
and sing another song

CHORUS: wish i could bend that ear
have it near
to know you care
what i've shared with you,
special you.

you do know, you're special
to me? not sure
how you'll feel
if i directly express these feelings
now lyrical, but
maybe not as smooth
as i wanted it to be

CHORUS: wish i could bend that ear
have it near
to know you care
what i've shared with you,
special you.

let's just look at the moon
and wonder how
it absorbs the fire of one, consumed,
93 million miles away,
even at night.
