Finding and Losing (Brownstein/Amarante)

I find my treason without trying

You play with truth without quite lying

Love is the angle of your smile

Yours is the strange that stays in style

I lose my path and walk astray

It fades with every passing day

Fear is the angling of my fright

The un-grown seeds of our delight

I’m lost and found

Down and around

Don’t know where my future’s bound

Spreading wide while I’m stretching thin

All to help this world I’m in

Moving fast, feeling slow

Taking time I can to grow

See the world, look inside

Think about what I’ll leave behind

I find the gift I'm used to giving

A little life that's lost in living

Time is a truth that misbehaves

She's out walking forwards to the grave

I lose most everything I find

A bit of memory took my mind

Hard is the breaking when you're broke

Yours is the mending I invoke

I’m lost and found

Down and around

Don’t know where my future’s bound

Spreading wide while I’m stretching thin

All to help this world I’m in

Moving fast, feeling slow

Taking time I can to grow

See the world, look inside

Think about what I’ll leave behind

I find some patience in my doubt

It's how I keep the passion out

Love is fidelity unbound 

Yours is the light that keeps me found
