Can You Hear Me Now

Let's make it easy, let's get out of town Where you can, sit me down And tell me stories, remind me how we got here Cause right now, all I see, piling up behind me is a cloud A fire on either side, and in front just the daylight dying. Can you hear me now? I was trying so hard Can you hear me now? I was trying to understand How the sunlight slides through your hands To understand how the sunlight slides Oh you can stand around and dissolve into me, Or you can dive under wild and free Sit down beside me or wrestle all night The door is wide open, the door is shut tight Everything I could carry, everything I could lift Everything that was easy, I felt everything shift Can you hear me now? I was trying so hard Can you hear me now? I was trying to understand How the sunlight slides through your hands To understand how the sunlight slides Through your hands I'm tying it up, i'm closer now brother I'll call you again when i've figured it out How the pain still seeps in behind the glass You said, "all you need is one perfect paragraph" Paint it behind the fence in a barren lot With the bright green grass from the winter rain Let it crumble there, let it wash away Let it evaporate
