Branches

i've been slipping through
the branches of you
hands and eyes
are asleep, i'm on my way back to you

trying to go day by day
to figure all this out
the answer's just an arm's length away

but every time i turn around
the ground just opens up
and takes me in
forever falling to you once again

i've been slipping through
the branches of you
hands and eyes
are asleep
i wonder if you're watching me
slipping through
the branches of you
side by side
my hands can't grab ahold of you

i can only hold on so much
before the friction is cut
still, the answer's just an arm's length away
always a little more than out of my reach
