Different Pitches
Eyes high boys
Let’s try hard for it
Don’t let the ground
Pull you back down to earth
I tried, were it up to me
I’ll lead us all home again
To warm blankets
And a place to belong
But we need hands
We need faces
We need voices
To fill these spaces
And make us all human again
To turn our frowns
Back into understanding
We’re all saying the same thing
But no one wants to stop
Long enough to hear
The other person say it
Say it together
“I love you”
It’s not that I don’t think
You heard me
I want you to hear that
I heard you say it back to me
We all just
Gotta back up
A little bit
Some of us
still give a shit
Some of us
Are living it
If we all leave our hands up
We’ll find them
With just a little more time
Then it can carry us home
My ring is missing a diamond
It fell off twice
So I left it behind me
It still works
It still goes in a circle
Like my life, it’s a hurdle
Turning on its head
Full of happy and pain
Uncertain and sane
Setbacks and gains
Smooth edges and angles
Sinners and angels
No one is burning
The warlocks and witches
There’s no way to fix us
It’s just different pitches
You just have to listen
