Letras
I learned it on the underground, half-asleep,
Coffee breath and Monday feet,
A whispered voice cracked through
Said it like a prayer you keep-
Mind the gap.
Don't lean too far,
Everyone pretending they're not scared of falling... we are.
Funny how I've got one too,
A quiet space I carry through-
Between the way I thought life'd feel
And what it's actually doing
And I've been dropping little things in there
Like coins into a wishing well-
A late-night stroll, a walk of fear,
is no substitute for your presence near
So I'm trying to mind the gap in my heart,
Not to fill it up- with doubt and dark.
I keep reaching for a remedy, for a finish line,
But You keep showing up right on time.
You don't always pull me out,
But You step in close and problems rout-
Telling me "I AM and I'm here."
Your presence pulls me about
I used to pray like bargaining,
Like if I'm good You'll change the thing,
Like faith is just a lever
And relief is what it's meant to bring.
But now I'm learning how to breathe
When nothing changes overnight-
How love can be a presence
More than it is a solved life.
If You never fix what I can't fix,
If the train don't come when I want it to,
Don't let me trade Your nearness
For the noise I'm used to.
Teach my hands to stop reaching
For what only numbs the ache.
Stay close- stay close-
That's the miracle I'll take.
Yeah, I'm trying to mind the gap in my heart,
Not to fill it up- just to name the dark.
I keep reaching for a remedy, for a finish line,
But You keep showing up right on time.
You don't always pull me out,
You step in close and problems rout-
Telling me "I AM and I'm here."
Your presence pulls me about
A warning echos in my minds eye
