clouds with ellipses

Ben Folds

Fits and starts, clouds and ellipses
I fill silences with the dark
And I can take it
I want to know the uncensored thoughts
Or maybe not

I know you and your rhythm
When you took and extra beat
That rang true
Were you being honest and thought better of it
I watched the cloud hesitate then nothing

Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away
Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away

For these moments, nothing else matt?rs
I found doldrums and pain
We float free until the cloud bursts
Are you ?ven real?
Is that what you started to tell me but couldn t?

Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away
Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away
Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go

Meet me here, free and numinous
Soaring over the rain
We ve got to be our most beautiful version
Until we come down
Someone else gets the real thing
And we get our doubts and our clouds

Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away
Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
And fade away
Clouds with ellipses
They come and go and come and go
