Cautious but self assured
I’ll meet you at your door
But tonight I won’t step inside
Like a thousand times before
Slow way down if you need that
But you gotta hear me out when you come back
Every crack lets in new light
Can I dare you to explore?
Apparently, you think it’s nothing like it used to be
I’m optimistically
Trying to make you think about it differently
Apparently, it’s nothing like it used to be
But am I foolishly
Trying to make you see it as an opportunity?
You think you wanna end it now?
Well, go ahead and tell me how
Even if we burn it down
It’ll always feel like home
Ordinary words can make extraordinary songs
You and I two pieces but there’s magic in the sum
Apparently, you think it’s nothing like it used to be
I’m optimistically
Trying to make you think about it differently
Apparently, it’s nothing like it used to be
But am I foolishly
Trying to make you see it as an opportunity?
Apparently, it’s nothing like it used to be
Now I’m desperately
Trying to make you think about it differently
Am I barely hanging on to your belief in me?
And am I foolishly
Seeing every problem as an opportunity?
Ordinary words can make extraordinary songs
You and I two pieces but there’s magic in the sum
Ordinary words can make extraordinary songs
You and I two pieces but there’s magic in the sum

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
