Verse:
N.C.
there's a picture that i found
N.C.
my first car in the falling snow
N.C.
seems like yesterday i drove down into low tide
N.C.
and isaac snapped a polaroid of me pretending i was sinking
N.C.
pressed against the glass, pleading
N.C.
i misplaced it but i'm looking

Chorus:
      C     G          C              G
when we are young, if only we could see beyond our fears where we are free
      C     G            C            G
when we are lonely, if only we could know that in our stillness we are growing

Verse:
         C
all the portraits we collected
            G
while we were running around in the desert
         C
we were trying to seem fulfilled
        G
to rewrite our new york city narratives
          C
but emily, we were utterly dejected
              G
we took turns crying on the passenger side of america,
  C                  G
too clouded to be empowered by towering redwoods

Chorus:
      C    G
when did we lose the ancient truths?
         C            G
is it what we're born bending our bodies towards?
      C             G
how can we spend our lives searching outside of ourselves
    C                    G
for the inner knowledge of our oneness with the world?

Bridge:
Am            Bm
shervin, remember when my car finally quit?
   C                  Bm
we'd drag our dirty clothes after dark to lavanderia
         Am         Bm
and wander graham ave. obsessing over singers we love
 C                    Bm
i thought i was so alone but now i know i never was
    Am          Bm
you've always been the jenny to my watson twins
   C                Bm
can't land the harmony but we'll keep singing it
  Am            Bm                 C
no photographic artifact but here is something better than that

Chorus:
      C     G          C              G
when we are young, if only we could see beyond our fears where we are free
      C     G            C            G
when we are lonely, if only we could know that in our stillness we are still growing
