i used to have a dream about myself
me & no one else
& you were right behind me
but i didn’t have to see your face
i didn’t have to
i used to be able to
just wile away the hours
dreamin’ about that face
oh i didn’t have to
but i would anyways
& it’s the greatest shame
that all the things i love have become have-tos
cause the get-tos you have fight to get to
& i got you
under my skin
& over my head
it’s the other things
like today when i didn’t notice that the sun had come out
just give me a day
to sing this song
till i know
that i can’t be wrong
& then i’ll rise to the occasion
& i won’t look back
whatever makes you happy
well you find it & you don’t let go
till it’s part of you
till you don’t now where it is anymore
then go look for it
it’s right there
just give me a day
to sing this song
till i know
that i can’t be wrong
& then i’ll rise to the occasion
& i won’t look back

Dave is the master of writing endings that instill an ethereal feeling of hope within the person who experiences it. The Field is a perfect cap to the end of Octet and by itself it fills me with the calm tranquility of acceptance in situations where I feel like everything is wrong, like I'm unworthy of everything I have and happiness itself. It always reminds me to not waste anymore of my weird and precious time, arguing the nonsense of the wheel. playton
