[00:00.14]How I Got By - Rachael Sage
[00:00.77]I watched you walk up the escalator
[00:05.31]Like you were a ghost
[00:07.78]You left me stranded at the platform faded
[00:11.46]As an antique rose
[00:14.75]You were figments of reality
[00:18.41]I'd almost see again
[00:21.11]But you'd be different next time
[00:23.47]Candle burned out wickless and melted
[00:27.92]Sometimes it's hard to ameliorate imaginary sin
[00:34.63]When you're still stuck inside the distance
[00:37.99]Between nothing and everything
[00:41.27]When will you walk into the room
[00:44.60]And run your fingers through the air
[00:48.16]Dancing like young Esther Williams
[00:51.59]Drowning in the deep water
[00:54.86]I've seen the moon sigh for mercy
[00:58.29]I've seen solitude break down
[01:01.61]Like some old forgotten junkie
[01:05.02]I've been wandering this town
[01:08.45]Worse for the wear waiting to fly
[01:15.38]Somebody wake me 'fore I forget how I got by
[01:28.39]So many people blinded by horizon's golden dust
[01:35.51]I know so little I guess
[01:38.05]I am much more glitter than I'm rust
[01:42.15]But I know what love is
[01:45.08]I'm sailing off like Columbus
[01:48.49]To see her face she is a ghost
[01:52.03]I never knew I could earn this syllabus
[01:55.79]Sometimes it's hard to ameliorate imaginary sin
[02:02.54]When you're still stuck inside the distance
[02:05.80]Between nothing and everything
[02:09.27]When will you walk into the room
[02:12.33]And run your fingers through the air
[02:15.97]Dancing like young Esther Williams
[02:19.29]Drowning in the deep water
[02:22.75]I've seen the moon sigh for mercy
[02:26.15]I've seen solitude break down
[02:29.67]Like some old forgotten junkie
[02:33.14]I've been wandering this town
[02:36.38]Worse for the wear waiting to fly
[02:43.15]Somebody wake me 'fore I forget how I got by
[02:55.86]Forget how
[02:56.53]I am a gypsy girl good thing you're a gypsy too
[03:03.28]You take the worn-out stairs
[03:06.34]I elevator it to you
[03:09.77]You smell like ocean waves
[03:13.23]I taste the sweetness of surprise
[03:16.66]You'll wait impatiently
[03:20.28]For us to never compromise
[03:37.44]I've seen the moon
[03:50.77]Worse for the wear waiting to fly
[03:57.44]Somebody wake me 'fore I forget how I got by
[04:10.19]Forget how I got by
[04:16.99]Forget how I got by
