Reading You Songtext
von We're About 9

Are you out there, Florence?
I have been reading you
You are the tree in a lifeless forest
I am the wind that won′t give up
And I don't know what′s out there for us
Or what all this shaking is leading to
I know I can be the poorest excuse to hope
But

You keep making waves
And I keep pushing them around
If I move things in the right direction
Will it be you that made the sound?
Did you make a sound?


It's just a poorly worded question
It tries to lay the fault
On your falling act
When my pushing did it all
I am the courier that made you
If that message hadn't fallen
In the right hands
You′d be no one
You′d be nowhere bound
Yes, we made a sound

Are you out there, Florence?
I have been reading you
You are the star that set me dreaming
All I've ever known of
So maybe I′m jealous
Of the power of what you do
I thought we would be teeming
But nothing did sound perfect
But

You keep making waves
And I keep pushing them around
If I move things in the right direction
Will it be you that made the sound?
Did you make a sound?


It's just a poorly worded question
It tries to lay the fault
On your falling act
When my pushing did it all
I am the metaphor that made you
If that message hadn′t fallen
In the right way
You'd be no one
You′d be nowhere bound
Yes, we made a sound

Are you out there, Florence?
I have been reading you
Again like a man without investment
And there is something I had forgotten
I have been crying
That's how I know that I am alive

And it's stirring up the question
Why?
Why?
