We make a pair of parentheses

This is the most comforting song I've heard. And I love their rhymes and non-rhymes. Listen to their songs on their myspace site, here.

Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self
Constructed to keep one's goods on one's own shelf
Built well you're a strong letter I
With the feet on the ground and the hands to the sky
Now and then you can bend
It's okay to lean over
Lean over my way
You fear that you can't do it all and you're right
Even day takes relief every day from its work
Making light from the night

And when you're holding me
We make a pair of parentheses
There's plenty space to encase
Whatever weird way my mind goes
I know I'll be safe in these arms

If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
Of course I put my arm around you
And I'll walk you outside
Through the sliding doors
Why would I mind?

You're not a baby if you feel the world
All of the babies they can feel the world
That's why they cry
