The Movement Of A Hand

You follow the footsteps Echoes leading down the hall to a room There is music playing Tiny bells with moving parts Here the shadows make things ugly An effect quite undesirable The bold and yellow daylight Grows like ivy across the wall And it bounces off of the painted porcelain A tiny dancing doll Her body spins as she pirouettes again The world suddenly seems small On an off white subtle morning You stretch your legs in the front seat And the road has made a vacuum Where our voices used to be And you lay your head onto my shoulder Pour like water over me So if I just exist for the next ten minutes of this drive That would be fine And all these trees that line this curb Would be rejoicing and alive Soon all the joy that pours from everything Makes fountains of your eyes Because you finally understand the movement of a hand Waving you goodbye --- The Movement of a Hand - Bright Eyes
