We Looked Like Giants

God bless the daylight

Those shimmering hours of sunshine

Remembering when you were mine in a still suburban town

When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes

And you'd skip your early classes

And we'd learn how our bodies worked

God damn the black night with all of its revelation

I've become what I always hated when I was with you then

We looked like giants

In the back of my grey subcompact

Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside

And together there

In a shroud of frost, the mountain air began to pass

Through every pane of weathered glass

I held you closer than anyone would ever guess

Do you remember N.M.H. and O.T.C

And reading aloud from magazines?

I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me

But I've never been too good with secrets, no

And together there

In a shroud of frost, the mountain air began to pass

Through every pane of weathered glass

I held you closer than anyone would ever guess

And together there

In a shroud of frost, the mountain air began to pass

Through every pane of weathered glass

I held you closer
