Lyrics

Tell me in a few words
Show me if the thought counts
Get some new eyes on this production
Blow the crowd away
It feels like what we have goes
Places our old demons couldn’t alone
I hauled all of that junk out of the yard
And out of slow decay
I skipped four lanes
Veered back into traffic
With the sky beet-red and aflame
Saw a horizon past the walk-ups
Like an oasis cross the plain
When I pulled you close and asked you
There was no space for doubt or for blame
Comfort me, tell me there’s things I cannot see
Even when there’s no money in the bank
Good fortune in the leaves
It seems like we’ve been scaling the side of the same dream
And it isn’t you, it isn’t me
There isn’t a word for it
The heavier the days felt
The more I had a need to run around
Life felt like a bluff I’d call another day
Now I lay and watch the hours grow
To new shapes and sizes, in every tone
Tying up vines and branches
That we hoped would stay
I ditched those games
Refused to take the buyout
Everyone tries running away
From that thing they thought they’d wanted
I thought “could you feel the same?”
But I knew before I asked you
There was no need to give it a name
Comfort me, I know there are things I cannot see
Even when there’s no water in the tank
New copies of the keys
It seems like we’ve been wary of all the same extremes
It isn’t you, it isn’t me
There isn’t a word for it
