Impossible

I found that I was angry in the cool of the day
 All the tall trees swaying, all I did not say
 Though I managed all the details, and I made all those phone calls
 And I wrote out all the emails and straightened out the front hall
 It don't matter, it made no difference
 All through our disagreement, there was a carnal on the fence
 Put no walls around me
 I will lay the stones myself
 And I will lay down with my body, give nothing else
 Still living with the feeling pent-up in my chest
 My old lifelong companion, the one I know the best
 Oh, I guess I got the hang of it, the impossible
 You could say I moved right in with it, the impossible
 ♪
 You knew I felt unnatural in the blue light of dawn
 I left the house of shadow, and my mind went on and on
 On the long spool of highway, strange fragments of song
 And all I can't get my way, everything that's still wrong
 Oh, I guess I got the hang of it, the impossible
 And I walk the endless boundaries of it
 Just to know what you can't ever have, what is light, what shadow
 Oh, I guess I always wanted the impossible (oh, ooh, oh, oh)
 On time learned to rest on the fevered pitch
 The change was so relentless, no time to get used to it
 I had to get so ruthless
 To cut right down to the quick
 To wake at 6 a.m. and go along with all of it
 But still I was so sensitive I could hardly even stand
 Your simple acts of kindness, the gentle pressure of your hand
 Glimpsed from the ferry, green swaths of land
 Sleeping on the floor, I felt the ocean's movement
