Dumb I Sound

Sufjan Stevens

Something's suddenly unclear,
Someone's suddenly my fear.
My eyes demand like broken eaves.
The ladel overspills on eaves.

If you once knew
How I loved you.

And my bruise-colored eyes peel
Every image to your face and heel.
And if you're happy I am too,
And if you're sleeping, I'm with you.

But you love someone else.
But you want to be with someone else.
And I can't believe how dumb I sound,
And I will put my face over the ground
And love you.
