As a child I looked at airplanes Learned all their technical names I never could guess what they’d do And I spent my youth waiting in airports Convinced of a purpose I’m lit up, I’m love, I’m a man And I’ve rented rooms that change with the seasons I forget the reasons The bottom falls out, I’m alone I hid in the corner, the tanks on parade down below Looking back homewards, shedding old tears for you ------------------------------------------- But can I stay with you just for a little while Been trouble all behind And lying here beside you Hell I want to get it right this time --------------------------------------------- When I make it home I’ll hand out key-chains And souvenir ashtrays But I’ll save the full story for you When I make it home, get a house like my brothers’ And be a good husband All simple and static and whole I’ll probably be older, when the fever burns out of my mind But I gotta tell you, I’m lit-up, I’m filled up and trying

you're not getting more from me I don't know the question you're not getting more from me cold and wild and free it crawls to the horizon and keeps your far from me I don't see your face here anymore laden looks lay softly move just like a mystery I'm not giving up on you quiet when it rumbles stumbles cross the ocean and stretches far to you I don't see your face anymore

The night my necklace fell off you fluttered through my capillaries like a stone moth. I agree with your ideas but not your tactics so look me in the eye & be practical. When practically there’s nothing left for me to say or do, it’s only up to you. A live ladybug trapped between my toes: keep it together man, we’re all connected now, stay composed. I agree with your ideas but not your tactics so look me in the eye & be practical. Practically there’s nothing left for me to say or do, it’s only up to you. The current picture: the metronome; I don’t know what this is but it’s not my home. I thought that we were falling in love. But we weren’t; only I was. I agree with your ideas but not your tactics so look me in the eye & be practical. When practically there’s nothing left for me to say or do, it’s only up to you.

Here we are now in the backyard On the warm ground out at sundown But in twelve days I'll be halfway Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid You've got green eyes, I had foresight When I said we'd be good I was so right If we lay here, spend every day here Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear I made a promise to you I'd protect you if I had to So the bad parts never get through From the outside into your life We can try but we might have some hard nights Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe I need your heat, I've got cold feet It's the thought that still makes this so easy I made a promise to you That we'd still feel brand new That we'd still feel something She's not too fond of history Hearing loud of abrasive speech She's unique in the way she eats oh yeah she loves me Why she does hell I cannot say I can't seem to stay in one place Always gone and I'm far away from the smile on her face Was it something that I couldn't say? Fast enough to get away And though I tried to make a clean escape You left me with an even break And i think I saw myself in you But I think you saw a proper fool And I know we broke every rule With everything we didn't do I'll remember every day If you remember every dumb mistake That you made cause you were late But its my fault I made you wait In this city I cant speak Well you know this place is killing me And it's harder to believe But it's hard enough to watch you leave

I'm anchored in your eyes & I have to know / Are you headed for the thrills of the western shores Why are you always running / Don't go I fought for all that we had / Pictures of us all learning Hunters would love what we have / You keep us all up learning Artless summer you had it all Heartless summer youʼve had it all With the bones of the lonely we lay I have to follow you / I have to follow through Mystic mile had a wishing well where you could call me a controller The morning of the night that I broke the spell you said don't drink the river Dance on the ice above the only thing I love Iʼm a youthful man caught inside a poor old thing and I wonʼt taste the river I'll be right there / I'll be right there just to show you how much I care Youʼre running to the start / Youʼre always on my mind Youʼre running through the dark / Youʼre hunting all my time

I'll be leaving my modest hills leaving you behind for a city press your head into my arm your mouth is young but your heart is strong You look beautiful in your black dress with your golden arms falling down like your tress look at my face as you close the door and step over the dirty clothes on the floor With eyes like summer and hands so tame she said that every good song mentions rain Break my chest with your American charm the stories of your mother and the family farm I know my breath is dark and wet won't you come by all my friends have left We've been drinking and laughing hard telling all the stories of our calloused palms Don't look so scared with my hands in your hair the darkness that they've known has gone away Pull back the shade and look outside the rain isn't warm like your hand in mine. I am looking forward to turning cold My orange rusted orange neck turning gold. the way you wear your smile is to sweet to be dark until you decide to come back to me
