i always shielded the little hope i d turn into somebody soon we drove hopeful to the city but it was clear there was no room the military of opinions left bootprints on my soft grass the days turned their faces away like billboards that we passed could my faith fall did i let my faith fall in the dusk my little mirror words bent weak like playing cards my love crying pulled away from my driveway arms i told her i m so close to making it but when she said goodbye i knew cause if i could i swear i would have left me too could my faith fall did i let my faith fall i lingered outside in the blue a jetstream gleamed like the seam of the sky and we could fold it a hundred different ways like your hands would fold round mine we bathed in lakes of mattresses and i believed in you how i used to turn in my sleep when i had someone to turn into could my faith fall should i let my faith fall i always shielded the little hope someday i d turn into someone maybe i was sleeping all along maybe my dreaming s done i always thought somebody here might need my songs but i couldnt tell you now if i believe in that at all
