I could hand it off to god
But is she looking out for me...?
If she let me fall in love...?
With another one who’s not down for me? Been giving it all my heart
Cause feeling you right next to me
Is more than just a want
I feel some kind of divine symmetry—
And even if god herself could see me,
She’d leave me to decide
Whether to keep giving you my light
Acting like you don’t need me- I’m the one who can see you
Guiding you through the seasons- I’ve been here for a reason
I could be your guiding star
But I can only take you so far! Ah!
Girl, your love’s been omnipotent
But it feels like darkness is imminent
I’m afraid I need to find out- who I am when you’re not around
Acting like you don’t need me- I’m the one who can see you
Guiding you through the seasons- I’ve been here for a reason
I could be your guiding star
But I can only take you so far!
Feels unreal, it’s unreal
No matter how I deal with it
Feels like we could break... through!
Are we about to break...? Through...?
(Looking for a path to take)
Feels unreal, its unreal
It’s so surreal, but it feels like we could break
Acting like you don’t need me- I’m the one who can see you
Guiding you through the seasons- I’ve been here for a reason
I could be your guiding star
But I can only take you so far!
(Take me further babe - further...
Let me know what to do - Let me know how to do it
Do I even deserve - Your confidence?
Leading me through - Reminding me I want it too...)
Acting like you don’t need me- I’m the one who can see you
Guiding you through the seasons- I’ve been here for a reason

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
