lyrics

Under water tower shadows on a sidestreet: metal met concrete and left a bitter bruise and I drove back wounded, but filled with wanting to simmer sweetly under an April moon. And though I’m thankful for everything I’ve been given, it’s only human to want a better deal. But all that gets you is an awful little screen in a bedroom, peering in on other peoples’ highlight reels. Oh, and when I turn it off, in the morning every silence is a song. Maybe we weren’t built for this. I’d rather have you as something I get to miss. Hiding out in the frequency of every creaking floorboard, a rented room can hold a thousand latent songs. Shaped like wishes, labeled prayers, floated out into the air and then they’re gone. So tell me when did this become something you do and not just something you’ve done? I wanna know where that line’s drawn: between going and being gone.
