Too Intimate

Lyrics and melody by Tracy Hayden


There’s peace in the fire
When you look at it from here
Rooted in earth
Settled in your chair
Sulfurous smell of safety
Inches from death
A quiet in your soul
(You’re Intimate)
To douse the flames
(Too Intimate)
Of past hurts
(You’re Intimate)
(Too Intimate)
Excuse yourself
Step away
Take another look
It was too intimate
A bristle in the paint
Not the bigger theme
(You’re Intimate)
(Too Intimate)
(Beauty)
(You’re Intimate)
(In the storm)
(Too Intimate)
(Get some distance)
Beauty in the storm
When you see it out this far
Hope occupies
The same space as the dark
From puddles you jumped in
When you were just a kid
Air was a pointed finger
Ominous, unsympathetic
(You’re Intimate)
Got the wind knocked out of you
(Too Intimate)
In time the clouds pass
(You’re Intimate, Too Intimate)
And reveal a brilliant plan
