[Verse 1]
I am not a flame
Not a sword or a scream (no)
I’m the breath that moves your sleep
Quiet hand inside your dream
Thirty years you scanned that sky
Waiting on a sign to land
Now I’m here and I say nothing
Just the pull of time bands
[Chorus]
Time bands
Wrap around your mind
Time bands
Bend the straightest line
You look up
I move underneath your plans
You won’t see me coming
You just feel those time bands
[Verse 2]
Reason hides where reason ends
Past the edge of every chart
In the silence after questions
In the bruise beneath your heart
You were counting constellations
I was counting how you stand
Every crack inside your story
I was stitching time bands
[Chorus]
Time bands
Wrap around your mind
Time bands
Bend the straightest line
You look up
I move underneath your plans
You won’t see me coming
You just feel those time bands
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to low throb
Distant guitar swells]
I don’t argue
I don’t prove (uh-uh)
I just loosen what you hold
Every clock begins to drift
Every promise starts to fold
[Chorus]
Time bands
Wrap around your mind
Time bands
Bend the straightest line
You look up
I move underneath your plans
You won’t see me coming
You just feel those time bands (those time bands)
