Lay Here WIth You
31My heart is beating
All of the time
Thanks to some old
Old parts of my mind
It does all this work that I can't control
Like a celestial body careening through the vacuum of space
There is nothing I can do
So I'll just lay here with you
I’m breathing in
Even when I don't think
Little trees inside
Lungs so pink
Every time I stop to try and make sense of it
I find myself getting kind of panicked
I picture my skull beneath my face looking at you
There’s nothing I can do
A country goes on with it’s head cut off
Tough on the outside, on the inside soft
Broken bones and an old malaise
Moving slower than tectonic plates
We can try to steer it but it’ll always do
What it wants to do
So I'll just lay here with you
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
