lyrics

I think I used to think love felt like falling
Windchill raising goosebumps on shrinking mortal flesh
The soft parts of my heart clenching up hard
In case someone tried to open them
Who the hell would try to open them
But sometimes they did
Sometimes they tried
And I know how this must sound
But this feels like something else
You just touch me with your eyes and I feel strong and brave and bright
Like the city inside is the capital of the sun
On a major holiday every atom in my body's
A parade dancer twirling an electron baton
A parade dancer twirling an electron, electron baton
And if I move just right
I'll dissolve into a being of pure light
I only don't because dissolving's not polite

And it's really quite hard to say if I've ever felt this way
Really quite hard to say if I've ever felt this way
Like honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones
I used to think I got it now I really think I get it
I used to think I got it now I really think I get it
Wouldn't be writing the same songs
If you had never come along

The old masters knew suffering well
But what of joy?
Would the world just keep looking the other way
Were you to take my hand and unfurl our wings
Unfurl our wings
Would the jackhammer the woodpecker the cars the suits the smog
The city outside just keep keeping on
While you and I
Stood up and took flight
Stood up and took flight
Stood up and took flight

And it's really quite hard to say if I've ever felt this way
Really quite hard to say if I've ever felt this way
Like honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones, honey
Honey and trombones
I used to think I got it now I really think I get it
I used to think I got it now I really think I get it
Wouldn't be writing the same songs
If you had never come along
