Yellow Bird - I Know the Light Lyrics

I wish I held your hand
On the bench along the beach
Afraid to look you in the eyes and stare
'Cause I knew I'd like what I'd come to find in there
Afraid of being happy in the ways I deserved
And the feelings I was forced to be starved of
So I waited there
And I talked instead
And I act like I am something more than what I think I am
Because I know the light
And I watch the blurring ground
Etch below my feet some strange calligraphy
And my eyes slant and I decide
And I say yes
I say yes
I say yes
I say yes
And I see years behind us
And I see years ahead
And I look at you, and it feels brand new
And I grieve for shadows past
And I grieve for those that last
And I grieve alongside you
Breathe alongside you
And we laugh and the passing moment lets us
And there is no sense of urgency like there often is
In my frantic head
