Taking a Page (Demo)
I can see it in the way
That you are the painted
Flowers in the big parade
Flowers in the big parade
Deep inside your heart
Staring at the sky
Calling out the shapes
Clouds make as they pass by
Watching instructional video help
To watch instructional video
Love's a little like
Crowd surfing in a club
Yeah, that's a little like
Something and not like love
And first they thank you by pulling out your tongue
Then you apologize for being where you're from
I could hear the animals painted on the cave
I was taking a pagе
From my own mistakes
It was an empty book
Until I took a look
Many unknown thrills
Hard to translate
Timе yer all the time
Elegant heart rate
She would look at her
Non-linear
Reaches in her pocket to find
All of humankind
Trying not to recall
What I just forgot
Pulling out my phone
Like it was a thought
Nothing says it all
Like no reply
I don't understand
No woman no cry
I'm in my Free Tibet shirt that's made in China
I haven't worn it yet, scared of being kidnapped
Oh, the words that never meant a thing are starting to make sense
And I was taking a page from Carole King
You're so far away
Baby, you're so vain
Wandering through a world
Neither of us understands
When you think you just can't stand it
Zoom out and see the planet
I am solo flute
You are pyramid in Mexico
She's a UFO man
Transpersonal
But love's a little like
Crowd surfing in an empty club
Yeah that's a like
Something a lot like love
Things could really be much worse
At least there's smiley face
But I can't take no more
Guitar solo or car chase
Words tend to mean the most in songs that are just music
Do you think colors ask themselves
"Who's your favorite human?"
I was stranded in the place of my favorite details
I was taking a page
From all the time I spent
With the vanity
That knows no end
I was taking a page
From my imaginary life
Where I'm a good housewife
Yeah, sounds nice
I was taking a page
From never feeling like
I was a girl or guy
But I had to try
Sec-sec-sec
Secret Society
To take a page
Sec-sec-sec
