Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fumbling for your keys in a panic
Undercover garage's dampening the sound of the world
Walking tall all over you and taking you for granted
Your sunset's dipping in subtle time
And mine was hanging low hours ago
And although you think you'd burned it up, too bad, you still could call
And I know you're hopeful when you're unadorned
But I hoped that you would be unafraid
[Verse 2]
I was saying yes 'cause I was desperate for less
I guess the fact that we were trapped inside that room is all I got that's definite
And I prayed that sleep would take you for a bit
Till then, I held your shaking body in my hands
And the locust din was wearing thin in the evening I suppose
And I knew you were preparing to be leaving to the coast
[Verse 3]
But what could I do right to keep you safe while you're in flight
To keep the plane and all alight among its engines in the sky?
And what could I do right to keep your faith between the lines?
You know I'd take it all away from you, I'm trying to
But what could I do right from this side
Situated right of the continental divide?
[Verse 4]
And I know you're hopeful when you're unadorned
But I wish that you weren't so far away
[Verse 5]
What could I do right to keep you safe all of your life
To keep the waves from rising higher than the cities in their sights?
And what could I do right to keep you weightless for a while?
You know I'd take this all away from you, I'm trying to
[Verse 6]
But the locust din was wearing thin in the evening I suppose
And I know that you're preparing to be leaving to the coast
This whole month, I wasted every morning fixing on your way we left it
And how we meant it
And how you meant it
The way you left it
And how I meant it
