Atmosphere

Here I am, feet on the ground / watching the bright copper leaves flutter down / wishing I were as light as the absence of sound, but I'm heavy now / one more year, that's what I said / start it all over again in my head / gonna bust out of here like a kid on a sled/ like a verb meets a noun / I'm on the ground today, but I won't stay if I catch wind of you / up in your atmosphere, it's bright and clear, valencia and blue / where do you think you get off? rattles the cage of my chest with a cough as the spirit within me, the flickering moth seeks the will to fly / try again, and if I fall, I'm really glad that you answered the call / I'm the white paper cloud on display at the mall / you're the open sky / I'm on the ground today, but I won't stay if I catch wind of you / up in your atmosphere, it's bright and clear, valencia and blue  /  it's just you and me, stitching the seam / carving a laugh from a terrible scream as we run to catch up with the vanishing dream and the bus doors close / that's okay, don't even care, I like to walk with the snow in my hair / with your crystalline breath catching ghosts in the air / can't you see we're already there?
