goosebumps

Copyright © 2009 Casey Harmon

scarves are for people who don't like the cold
on the back of their necks, cause they don't know
that goosebumps are meant to be enjoyed in the fall
when the sky comes down in pretty shapes on your nose

and i like to pretend that there's gold in the sand
and if i walk far enough i'd fall off of the earth
and as stars fall they take notes of all that i ask
so don't say i can't fly
when you're alone, you know you try and try and try...

so i'll wait as you fall in pieces in front of me
i'll keep your secrets secret until you kill the quiet part of me
i'll say what's on my mind if you would scream beside me at the painful parts of life
i'll stay in spite of silence if the lie the bribed us remains a mystery

gloves are to wear when you're scared of the cold
freezing your hands into holding mine for a time
that you don't want to stay,
you're afraid my touch might keep you there

and i like to pretend that there's gold in the sand
and if i walk far enough i'd fall off of the earth
and as stars fall they take notes of all that i ask
so don't say i can't fly
when you're alone, you know you try and try and try...

i'll take you to the garden where roses are born
i'll try to be all you wanted before you cave and decide to compromise
i'll walk across the coals as they burn through the souls i've been standing on in vain
i'll lay on the floor beneath you with a bleeding virtue i couldn't bring to life

i'd be all you need if you believe in change
so stay until your faith is real

I like this song a lot, Casey! It seems very deeply personal - the lyrics are very striking in their twists and turns... the melody is very compelling... very creative.
