Phoenix - Big Red Machine ft. Anaïs Mitchell, Fleet Foxes

Out in the loading bay light

Watching the fog recede

Divided the flame you slowly gave to me

Sign of relief in my mind

But I only caught you the one time

Later I'd watch you and wonder what it was like

How do you bear the full weight?

How does the long way feel?

Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?

How do you stay in that tower?

How do you reckon your own power?

How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take

How do you bear the full weight?

How does the long way feel?

Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?

How do you stay in that tower?

How do you reckon your own power?

How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take, now

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take, now

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take, now

How do you stay in that tower?

How does the long way feel?

How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

(Trying to find my way)

(I was thinking my mind was made)

(All that I, all that I could)
