Day-Staring - The Sidekicks

As I’m day-staring my way through life

I ask my auto-pilot, step aside

Like trying to coax a cloud down from the sky

Come down here, make me alive

Because a split second of a moment that halts time

Can be worth a whole lifetime of waiting

For something more than that same

Mundane life narrative

Transcend us, please

It’s in a place where hearts collide

And the love is overwhelming

In a place where a breath of

Fresh air still refreshes my insides

Feel like I am more than

The things that I occupy myself with

I am spending days staring

Waiting for lightning strike

When your hand holds my hand

Let your warmth still fill me

Let your eyes and beautiful sights

Still inspire and thrill me

And if even I drown in stress

And it seems I’ve begun to forget

Remind me of

The bright sky and the moment we first me

Feel like I am more than

The things that I occupy myself with

I am spending days staring

Waiting for lightning strike

I’ve finally found something

That is worth holding on to

Scratching and clawing

So I don’t lose my grip on you

But why

Why are my arms so tired?

Is it from holding on for dear life?

I shouldn’t be wasting time

Waiting for the pulse of something at all

Waiting for the pulse of something at all
