[Verse 1]
I leave my home, desolate but not alone
I have a gift, I've been told, for seeing what’s there
And I will chase all the rain, put it down, call it paint
To possess something arcane, oh, it's a heavy weight

[Chorus]
We leave love behind
Without a tear or a long goodbye
And as we wait for lightning to strike
We are enthralled by the calling of the eye

[Verse 2]
Oh, and one of these days you'll call up
You’ll give me something beautiful to think and sing and follow
Our feet don't ever touch the ground
Run ourselves ragged town to town
Chasing uncertainty around, a siren sound

[Verse 3]
Oh, and you watch me like I'm a jet stream
A scientific cryptogram lit up behind the sunbeam
You paint my body like a rose
A depth of beauty in repose
A complicated love you chose
Where love will land, nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
