Water Tower Lyrics by Maxwell Stern

Impossible Sum

2020

Under water tower shadows on a side street
Metal met concrete and left a bitter bruise
And I drove back wounded, but filled with wanting
To simmer sweetly under an April moon
And though I’m thankful for everything I’ve been given
It’s only human to want a better deal
But all that gets you is an awful little screen in a bedroom
Peering in on other peoples’ highlight reels
Oh, and when I turn it off
In the morning every silence is a song
And if we weren’t built for this
I’d rather have you as something I get to miss
Hiding out in the frequency of every creaking floorboard
A rented room can hold a thousand latent songs
Shaped like wishes, labeled prayers
Floated out into the air and then they’re gone
Then they're gone
So tell me when did this become
(When I turn it off)
Something you do and not just something you’ve done?
(In the morning every silence is a song)
I wanna know where that line’s drawn
Between going and being gone
Oh, and when I turn it off
In the morning every silence is a song
And if we weren’t built for this
I’d rather have you as something I get to miss
