Silhouette - Julia Holter

I go out to find

The one with whom I’ve seen all hours' moons

Once the curtains lifted

And he said, «I only swim to you»

Language is such a play —

He called his exit but his eyes irresolute

What pasts still sit today?

I feel I’m walking around in blue

He can hear me sing

He can hear me sing

Though he is far, I’ll never lose sight of him

He turned to me then looked away

A silhouette

A silhouette

Still returns to me

I’ll hand him his coat

It’s exactly where he left it long ago

We’ll fall all over floorboards

I lose my breath just envisioning the scene

Mysteries that wake up late — the table’s set

And the painting of his face

No time to hesitate

I cede all my light and play abandoned fool
