lyrics

Time & time again,
during monsoon season at church,
Natalie’s pastor would say a rainbow
was God making a promise, though
what for you weren’t meant to know,
the details like raindrops on a window –
crystal clear, but not meant to be named.
Responsible, but not meant to be blamed,
I am, I am.

Time & time again,
I think about friends of mine who died.
Was the rainbow they saw a lie?
Nick was twenty-one, Brian twenty-five.
I spent a long time hurt but not able to cry,
because I was still alive,
so it didn’t feel fair for me to despair,
because I am still here, and they are there.
I am, I am.

But you’re a birthday, deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak, the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.
