lyrics

I only open my eyes when I’m looking at a picture of a place I’m going.
But when I get to the place I’m going I’m still looking at the picture I’m holding.
I try not to notice how you look when you’re falling down. I try not to notice when you’re too proud to take a hand. I try not to notice when your body is showing. I try not to notice when you’re feeling beneath them. Them and their beautiful faces.
In the middle of the night
in the shadow of the sun
feeling upside down
bumming around like some earthbound no ones
When we’re further down the line and we’ve grown further apart with time
and we’re alone in the dark, my dear, can we keep our little spark?
I was by myself. I was outside blinded by the sunlight and crashed my bike so I said “thank you” and my “thank you” multiplied.
I try not to notice how you look when you’re falling down. I try not to notice when you’re too proud to take a hand. I try not to notice when your body is showing. I try not to notice when you’re feeling beneath them. Them and their beautiful faces.
In the middle of the night
in the shadow of the sun
feeling upside down
bumming around like some earthbound no ones
When we’re further down the line and we’ve grown further apart with time
and we’re alone in the dark, my dear, can we keep our little spark?
