Lyrics

BEFORE I BEGIN LET ME TRY TO DIG IN AND EXPLAIN WHAT I DO
I SING WHAT I SING AND I PLAY WHAT I PLAY BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE
MIND IS SO STATIC IT'S ALL AUTOMATIC THE LOGIC IS TRUE
THAT I WANNA SHARE WITH YOU

THIS SHOULD BE MY HEART, THIS SHOULD BE MY SOUL
AND YOU ARE THE SUN, AND YOU ARE THE EARTH

AND YOU KEEP ME SPINNING

THIS SHOULD BE MY BLOOD, THIS SHOULD BE MY BREATH
AND YOU ARE THE PULL, AND YOU ARE THE POWER

SAVE YOURSELF AND ME

I AM A TINY SEED AND IT'S ALL I NEED TO BE TINY
I AM A SMALL, SMALL BEING AND IT'S HOW I FEEL I AM TINY

AND YOU ARE THE SOIL, AND YOU ARE THE WATER
AND YOU KEEP ME GROWING

SAVE YOURSELF AND ME
