Odd Sympathy

[Intro]

Almost the same

(almost the same)

[Drop]

One and one

(one and one)

[Break]

Two pendulums swinging on the same old wall,

Each one keeping time, but not in time at all.

One is just a hair ahead, the other lags behind,

Like two voices singing one song, not quite aligned.

[Build]

Swing and swing, they sway and lean,

Every swing a smaller gap between.

(swing and swing)

[Drop]

Almost the same

(almost the same)

[Break]

Through the wood they feel each other move,

Tiny nudges, nothing anybody's eye could prove.

A man in sixteen sixty-five, too sick to leave his bed,

Saw his two clocks swing as one, and wrote it down instead.

[Build]

Half a beat, a quarter, then an eighth,

Then nothing left between them, not a breath.

(not a breath)

[Drop]

One and one

(one and one)

[Break]

Put them on two walls and they forget,

Every swing drifts further, like they never met.

Put them back together, give them time,

Two become one motion, one long line.

[Break]

[Final Drop]

So lean on me and let me feel you sway,

Give it time, we'll swing as one some day.

(swing as one)

[Outro]

One and one

(one and one)
