Face the Weather

It’s here! The fifth album! Some of the songs, including this one, were written pre-Satori phase. I think this one was actually the last one from high school, during my first depressive mood. Not an episode, though. I just wasn’t feeling too great. Very soon, we’ll get to the good stuff. Hang tight.

 

How little snow does it take to cover fifty thousand trees

How little grass does it take to make a field appear green

How little war must a world endure until it agrees

Is it really so little

 

How little water is in the four big wide open seas

How little water is in the river to cross between you and me

How little effort does it take to get to where you think I should be

Maybe it’s not so little

 

Because you’re always Mister Right and I’m always Little Miss Wrong

And there is always that one note that won’t let it be a song

There is always something that I should be doing better

 

There’s always something that sticks that won’t let us work out

There’s always something that kicks you and keeps us both down

There is something that I should be embracing that’s better

And you can just go and face the weather

 

How many times did the sky fall to the ground

How many times did light arrive after sound

How many times did you find something worth your crown

Oh, how many times

 

Did the stars, in any way, ever have to crowd

How many times did I say your silence was too loud

How many times did you say I made you proud

Maybe not too many

 

How can I force the sun to come out at night

How can I turn pages of many books into one line

How can I turn back the gears and the wheels of time

Oh, how can I

 

Make it so everything that’s black suddenly becomes white

How can I make what is coarse about you refined

How can I make your life revolve around mine

Maybe I can’t

 

Because you’re always Mister Right and I’m always Little Miss Wrong

And there is always that one note that won’t let it be a song

There is always something that I should be doing better

 

There’s always something that sticks that won’t let us work out

There’s always something that kicks you and keeps us both down

There is something that I should be embracing that’s better

Just go and face the weather

 

I’m never on your mind, even when we’re alone

And you won’t miss me a bit when I’m finally gone

For some reason you can’t see that I deserve better

 

There’s not a single part of me that you truly care about

There’s not a moment when I’m with you that I don’t have doubts

There is something that I yearn desperately for that’s better

And you can just go and face the weather

 

How do I ask you to listen to what I say

How do I know that you won’t turn me away

How do I make your blindness to my feelings okay

 

How do I tell you that in reality I want you to stay

How do I tell you that despite all this pain

How do I tell you that I still love you anyway

 

Because you’re always by my side when the nights grow too long

And you’re always pushing me to make me into someone strong

There is always a smile on your face to make me feel better

 

There’s always something behind your solid mask that’s soft as a cloud

There’s always something new to love whenever you’re around

And there might be nothing in the world that’s better

Than when you make me face the weather
