Album: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (2008)

Insignificant



Can you see me
Up on the building
From down on the pavement
Or out in the crowd?

Can you see me
In the glare of the lamppost?
'Cause I am walking a tightrope
Into the moon

I don't want to feel so different
But I don't want to be insignificant, and I
Don't know how to see the same things different
Now

Oh can you see me?
I am one in a million
Yeah, I'm Icarus falling
Out of the sun

Could you see me fall in the light of spotlights and jackknife
Through night as black as a bedroom
And white as a lie?

I don't want to feel so different
But I don't want to be insignificant, and I
Don't know how to see the same things different
Now

Diving through the dark
While the night turns blue
Hey
Are you aware of your intentions?
Because I wear my intentions
So clear

If you see me
Wading through water
Come drown in the river
Right in front of the world
You can wash your face and hands
In the stream of my anger
It's as bright as white paper
And as dark as a girl

I don't want to feel so different
But I don't want to be insignificant, and I
Don't know how to see the same things different
Now
