Verse:
N.C.
there's a picture that i found
N.C.
my first car in the falling snow
N.C.
seems like yesterday i drove down into low tide
N.C.
and isaac snapped a polaroid of me pretending i was sinking
N.C.
pressed against the glass, pleading
N.C.
i misplaced it but i'm looking

when we are young, if only we could see beyond our fears where we are free
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
when we are lonely, if only we could know that in our stillness we are growing
Verse:
C majorC
all the portraits we collected
G+G
while we were running around in the desert
C majorC
we were trying to seem fulfilled
G+G
to rewrite our new york city narratives
C majorC

G+G
we took turns crying on the passenger side of america,
C majorC G+G
too clouded to be empowered by towering redwoods
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
when did we lose the ancient truths?
C majorC G+G

C majorC G+G
how can we spend our lives searching outside of ourselves
C majorC G+G
for the inner knowledge of our oneness with the world?
Bridge:

shervin, remember when my car finally quit?
C majorC B minorBm
we'd drag our dirty clothes after dark to lavanderia
A minorAm B minorBm
and wander graham ave. obsessing over singers we love
C majorC B minorBm
i thought i was so alone but now i know i never was
A minorAm B minorBm
you've always been the jenny to my watson twins
C majorC B minorBm
can't land the harmony but we'll keep singing it
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC
no photographic artifact but here is something better than that
Chorus:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
when we are young, if only we could see beyond our fears where we are free
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
when we are lonely, if only we could know that in our stillness we are still growing
