lyrics

Pulse soared in free form
An effort to try more
Careful on calm shores
A still hand, a stale core

I walked inside, turned the key clockwise
I didn’t want you to get caught in this
So sent digressions instead
I guess it’s just the way
Everyone else was made
I hoped this time I’d stay

We can’t just build new roads
Across these empty plots of land that we don’t own
We’ll just have to rely
A little longer on our current failing infrastructure

Oceans look no deeper
Unless their buoyancy’s tested

You said it’s time to get up
The light already shown
It’s getting harder to make
Whatever I could just postpone
Til tomorrow
There was an answer I just don’t
Remember now

You used to wake up at night
You sat next to the door
You used to wonder how we could relive
All the dreams explored
The night before
You used to slow at the corners
We used to want to grow
Now we’re better off, right?

Once in a while I find myself floating
If you just stay still you won’t notice
The current pulling
Drift an undulant form
Further than seagulls will go

Left the phone beside the bed
I left the key on the desk
Whatever else I may have left
I can come and take the rest

Slow the current goes
Don’t wait up til I get home
Tow and tethered flow
I’ll be right outside the door

Don’t forget your classes start
Don’t forget to study hard

Hope you do your best, I do
Sorry I can’t be there
