Animal State

True enough, there are reasons why
Watch the fire as it starts to die
Think of you when you’re by my side
Watch your boot tap right in time

Flip the page, another year gone by
Laundry lists but no assembly line
The day’s as new as if it wasn’t mine
Scan the ground for change to stay alive

I face you when there’s no stage
You’ve seen me in my animal state
But I’ll run to meet you more than halfway
Still a lifetime of things to say – Oh, oh, oh, OH, ohhhh!

You stay level like a Kansas miles
As for me, I’m a real live wire
Reach for you after dreams of fire
Safer with you than they are inside

(chorus)

You bloom through cracks when the well’s run dry
Harvest your hunger to help feed mine
Mean well by you when I lose my mind
Only angels and fools would rush the fault line

(chorus)
