Wide Eyed Lyrics - Centipede Hz - Animal Collective

Guiding her into dream time 

Following lights in her eyes 

This living behind's got her frightened 

So I'm here and I'm working all night 

How is she not breaking down? 

Oh God I feel her shaking 

Try as I might to provide her light 

In the end it's she who's breaking 

I'm holding the choice as she grows life from it's stem 

Is it better to say not now when I'm trying learn: yes? 

I'm dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile 

But when you're sleeping so far away I can't feel what's inside 

How am I still holding on? 

Oh God I hope I am holding 

She'll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing

If I could change my mind 

I would change 

What's the change for the better 

For a child who learns not to cry? 

And to the boy who relies on his anger: 

You'll survive but you won't feel exchange 

And why all these doubts? 

And what are all these doubts? 

I see in her eyes that I'm holding her fine but all I'm hearing is doubts 

Even as water's crushing over my head 

And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it's pace 

I'm learning from older shames as I'm watching them die 

And I'm still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake 

Now that I am waking up 

Oh God I hope I am waking 

Though I'm overwhelmed at times I find that I'm less afraid of change 

Change all the time 

Photos 

I'm still finding what's sure 

And not getting lost in my mind 

I know I can try 

Needing my own 

But still 

Getting lost in her eyes 

And hoping it's time 

Wide eyed 

I get wide eyed
