Our friends on the front porch, well they're telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times
|
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch spotlight
|
But us we found peace in shadows, long enough to see the monsters rise
|
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream living high on yesterday's lies
|
Talking to me about some 0% interest and, how she got a better deal than the next guy
|
|
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and we were looking
|
Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer then and now I can remember
|
Say now I remember oh so well
|
|
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind
|
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but mine only brushes your soft surface
|
And somehow
|
Somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes
|
So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you
|
|
And the way, oh the truth it locked us
|
Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us
|
When we were young, when we were young and missing
|
Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember
|
Say now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
|
|
Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down
|
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
|
Unchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end...
|
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here
|
If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture, so I'm told little sister
|
So now I'm sold little sister
|
Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden
|
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy
|
|
Well that's another whole box of pandora's, that's another whole box of them ties
|
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median
|
Right back into the median, the median lo-oh
|
It separates, our house from the middle of the street...
|
It separates our house from the middle of the street
|
|
Talking about our house
|
|
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times
|
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch
|
Spotlight
|
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die.
|
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long.
|
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough?
|
Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on.
|
If it isn't... if it isn't.. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont.
|
And that's just the way that it goes.
