Feel You - Julia Holter

My first thought was there are

So many days of rain in Mexico City —

A good reason to go

You know I love to run away from the sun

Is it time to dance?

I’ll fall

You know I like to fall, I’m hopeful for

The rush hour car stares and

The memory of your piano

Can I feel you?

Are you

Mythological?

Figures pass so quickly that I realize

My eyes know very well

It’s impossible to see

Who I’m waiting for in my raincoat

The time change worked well, I

I had a good excuse for being late

But I pushed open the door

The room was empty, all the people gone

When the cab pulled up, I laughed

I forgot where I was going

There, I stood mystified

I could give no reason for my frozen stare

Am I heading toward you?

It’s a hot day

Can I feel you?

Are you

Mythological?

Figures pass so quickly that I realize

My eyes know very well

It’s impossible to see

Who I’m waiting for in my raincoat

All these perfumes

In this parking lot

Thousands of people pass through

On this festival day

Playing their saxophones

I see a flashing light

I’m blinded by it-

The possibility

It’s impossible to see

Who I’m waiting for in my raincoat
