Set In Stone

Have you heard?
The neighbors are burning
And ice could never stop it
But your eyes couldn’t hurt
And have you heard?
That I’ll never learn
When I ask about the problem
And the feeling you’re nursing
I only sit it in stone
At least when I called
That’s what you told me
I know that it’s crazy
How you still see the same me
And I wish I could try love
But nothing will change me
Oh I’m
Only set in stone
Only set in stone
Only set in stone
I only set in stone

I struggle to face it
You’ve probably wrapped up at least
Five more me’s and I should have nothing to say
I guess you earned it when I let go and I
Hit myself in the face
Got stuck with the same me
Read the back door
Betting nothing will change me
Time never gets in the way
It seems to ignore me
I read the back door
Letting nothing control me
I only set it in stone
At least when I called
That’s what you told me
I know that it’s crazy
How you still see the same me
And I wish I could try love
But nothing will change me
Oh I’m
Only set in stone
Only set in stone
Only set in stone
I only set in stone

Describing the feeling is known to be difficult
Deciphering the meaning if it can be harder still
And yet we all know love
That thing which cannot be written down
Though it’s understood song
Its notes are in those who have taken the leap and fallen
Sung by them separated by seas
And strung up on the wall by couples
dressed in newly wed Dahlia
It’s the start of the week made by stillness and caring
Marked by the faint pulse of a soon to be heart
And sealed by unavoidable change to either party
Lucky enough to be different
It’s an orbit
It’s a pulling
It’s a tide
It’s the discovery of passing moons and suns
When neither had yet been noticed
And the finality of an earnest
“Are you mine?”

Oh I only set it in stone
You know I only set in stone
Oh I only set it in stone
