sitting in an empty house
on a simple chair in the corner
of an empty room
on a wooden floor
with nothing between here
and where i came from
except for a girl
waiting for the bus
with a leather knapsack
over her shoulder
and hope in her eyes
and enoughbeauty
to fill this empty room
a thousand times
like you
like you
just like you
like you
she ties her legs in a bow
and like butterflies
her eyes close
then her soul stretches
like paint in the rain
she breathes
her arms fall up
stretching up reaching
she moves the sun
like you
like you
just like you
like you
on a simple chair in the corner
of an empty room
on a wooden floor
with nothing between here
and where i came from
except for a girl
waiting for the bus
with a leather knapsack
over her shoulder
and hope in her eyes
and enoughbeauty
to fill this empty room
a thousand times
like you
just like you
like you
and like butterflies
her eyes close
then her soul stretches
like paint in the rain
she breathes
her arms fall up
stretching up reaching
she moves the sun
like you
just like you
like you

this is such an artistic song
this song is awsome!! these are some of the best lyrics i have heard. my fav part is "with a leather knapsack over her shoulder and hope in her eyes and enough beauty to fill this empty room a thousand times"
yea this is a beautiful song, very unlike custom which makes it even better. lyrics are beautiful music is perfect.i dunno its def. my second fave custom song
Years later, it still holds up. Immaculate, intricate production, great drumming, and that lyric that MistaTwista rightly highights: what's not to like here?
