Attenuate

It was so late when you said an ocean

But I prefer the sound that waters make

Funny how these things are set in motion

Reading this different like the words we say

Hedging our bets to make the very most of it

Cutting our distance with the steps we take

Thoughts in a spiral if gone untreated

Hold off on clipping now, attenuate

Getting ahead of ourselves is useless

But jumping the gun sometimes can be the best

It's hard to tell when things are as new as this

Loaded with first times, years, and consequence

It's easy to turn this one over and over

Study each angle in admiration

Creative thinking just takes over

So you can't help but build expectation

So let's hedge our bets to make the very most of it

Cut through some distance with the rules we make

Let it unravel, fall to the carpet

Hold off on clipping now, attenuate
