View From This Side Songtext
von Maple Glider

If you had have known that in the same year
Your mother would go and that I would
Have my first birthday, would you still marry the man of your dreams
And build up a life that would be deemed so
Perfectly sewn at the seams?
Oh, I wonder if you would have stopped
Just a while longer to listen

To all the weight of her breathing
Notice the sound of her screaming
Promise to love her even when she couldn′t feel it

You said, you had an eating disorder
It sparred with your love for your daughter
You wanted to be an example
You made your body a temple


When you heard the weight of her breathing
Noticed the sound of her screaming
You promised to love her even when she couldn't feel it

I know, you see the beauty in dust
So I try to lift all of it up and press it against my eyelids
Hoping my lashes will find hints
Carry them down to the fine print of how I see all of the world
You are my number one girl
And I want to love the way you do

Notice the weight of your breathing
Hold you when I hear you screaming
Promise to love you even

Notice the weight of your breathing
Hold you when I hear you screaming
Tell me do you even
Do you feel my love?
