lyrics

bleeding out my fingertips
and scraping down the springtime mist,
i left waiting for the road

to travel down and back again,
to wonder where your home is and
slowly suddenly it is gone

well all that i wished for was the end
couldn’t wait to escape your loving hands
but the end is in the rearview now
and silence screams the name of our towm

i lived in comfort silently,
blanketed in mystery
these same songs are foreign in my ears

the stoplight rings with melodies we used to sing in nursery school
now we are scattered round the states

well all that i wanted was to know;
drunk just enough to hope
for a whisper or a light from up above
and a year ago i loved you once

the indecisive sky will caress you
keep you safe, keep you undressed unless you leave
so don’t you leave
