Lyrics

the sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky

the dragonflies are busy buzzing me
seahorses if we were in the sea

halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

I’m gathering as far as I can reach
we’re perched up on the precipice
and this is what I’ve seen

this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.

a bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
doctorate in science and a theologian’s
dream

the dragonflies are trying to lecture me
seahorses if we were in the sea

this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.

beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
tropical storm across the ocean

but don’t explain, I’m sure I’ll want to know.
but don’t forget, we’re just halfway from coal

this is all I want it’s all I need
this is all I am it’s everything
this is all I want it’s all I need.
