Sixteen Ways

from Bike Mantras by Sonoak

/

lyrics

I want so badly to go back outside on the roof to tell you
Sometimes I want to marry you

16 ways to get back to my Island
I have so much love
If I could hear it in their silence
I'd be on my way
To a perfect existence
Even from so far away, if could hear them when I'd listen

Through the Cyprus (across the oceans)
And the mountains (this awful continent)
And the pines
I love you even from a plane when you're just a tiny dot below me
Passing too fast for human eyes to see
I think those who live with ease to see a century
Might say to their cells "I love you even as a giant with you just tiny dots inside me"
Well, I put 16 ahead of all of that long ago
I never looked back
But tiny dots can't scream
Loud enough for the human ear to perceive
And now my human heart is weak

I know there's so much love
If I could hear it in the silence
There'd be no blind, deaf, or dumb
Beyond descriptions of a science
I'll listen for your songs
On my bike in the wind
