Amiss?

I know you’re forgetful
But please answer my question
I’ve been waiting all my life
If I walk for miles and miles
Will I eventually run into the sky

Oh I know we’ve had a long standing agreement
To not talk about dimensions of space
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here

When we were children do you remember thinking
How are brains could get so big
And though I could wait for the rest of my life
I’ll never get to infinity

Oh sometimes I feel I’m just a baby in a womb
Watching yellow lights in this waiting room
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here

Maybe if you pass me that ladder
I can get up higher
To see what we’re supposed to be

And maybe if you stand beside me
We can make it stronger
like a rope on a bridge or the surge of the sea

Well moments have passed
Since I first started talking
Walking and dancing and growing my first teeth
And moments are coming when I lose all the people
People who meant anything, anything to me

So I end up crying for years of my life
Watching stars and shuttles pass from the sky
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here
