lyrics

I can't begin
to describe the state that I've been in
again

it's like a wind
so strong it caved me in
and then
shot splinters through my skin

I can't have you in my head
with my brains all blowing 'round
and I can't have you in my bed
if my house is falling down
all I'm capable of is a hug
don't let the wind sweep me up

you'd think with this swarm
of bees in my heart I could keep warm
but for sure
I shiver in their storm

I guess I need some way
to remind myself of the wolf I made
every day
forever lonesome in the glade

because it's hard to build a love
when your tools are blowing 'round
and how am I supposed to help you
if my feet don't touch the ground
all I'm capable of is a snub
I'm just a storm in a cup
