lyrics

This is a song for Edison.

My fierce independence, my obstinate grinding
and all of my sad devotionals, bookended days
never intertwining with brothers and sisters.
I had a multitude gathered.
But I would have rather walked on alone.

No poet could pen you.
No sculptor could cast you from the clay of the earth.
You know that you've been immaculate --
coddled and cleansed since the day of your birth.
There's magic in starting.
I'm never departing without you.
I won't forget about you or leave you alone.

Your eyes are my lifeblood.
Your smile is a circus.
And your laughter peals across fields of the dead
and make naysayers nervous because they can't catch you.
I'll bet you they can't handle heaven.
That's why they're trembling as you spin and sing.

You're so strong and smart now,
with the soul of a soldier.
You lead me on wonderful magical marches
and I never get older with you in the picture.
I'm pretty sure I am in love with you,
high up above with you helping me fly.

Ride on my shoulders
and play with my chin 'til the sun goes to bed.
Laugh 'til you cry and fall down on me hard
and I'll cradle your head.
I used to dream this.
When I was a boy I could see you.
I wish I could be you and just you alone.
