we wonder but never discover

Wake up to Sufjan Stevens
Fall asleep to the sound of my breathing
Why would you become a man that is hungry and freezing

I wanted to see your eyes
What color they would make in mine
But every time I tried
I was never one to hide
But when I do it's from what I need the most

Growing up is hard to measure
But when you do you come up short
I see the places that you sleep
And the places that you sit and stare
The places where you walk
And the places where you eat
What is the plane where we can both enter
And understand

Seven hills atop the sky
Are looking down and wonder why
The stars don't feel like they should shine
The stars don't like the sunshine
And though they are feeling fine
They will always wonder why

Junk is present in minds
And so is fear
But where does it stop
Do you see her
As she walks by
does she feel for you
Or do you wonder
And wait
When can you see
she wonders and waits too
