Molecule

from Late Night Letters by Helen Bell

lyrics

It was one of those days when our minds slipped behind a molecule together
Came out new and shining, no-one knew where we’d been
Shaping up to be one of those nights when all the colours run bright down in the river
Saturate our every whisper as we walk by, and it would seem
We would follow every stream of intuition to its source
Except we always go exquisitely off course
Such interruptions of my mission are a force of our collective nature
I never quite find my my way to saying...

I am here to hold your aching mind
If you would let me near the sadness tucked behind the corner of your eye
On occasional days
Like little lanterns in the grey
You’ve sheltered some shattered pieces of me
And if I knew how I’d do the same
If I knew how I’d do the same

It was one of those nights when your mouth could be a bit persuasive
The closer to the corners the sweeter it stings
Don’t you know if you do that it’s gonna burn for ages
It’ll run for several pages of over-analysing things
Stretch on the grass and feel the early-summer tension
Wonder how long we can hold on this suspension
How can either of us be the first to mention when it’s gone on this long?
Why can’t I find my way to saying...
