• Lyrics: i waited for you by the lake. while you were sleeping far away. from stethescopes and blinded lines. i decided you were mine. san francisco has the rain. new york city's grey. we'll settle down half way, for all the promises i made. don't look back. admit defeat. a heart too old to keep a beat. a scar to mark where i was young. a stone a drum a bee-bee gun. before i walk i'm forty-one. an awkward kiss a second son. we lie awake in silhouette. i haven't yet, i will not forget. we can retrace the sinking sky. with brush strokes and penciled lines. we are only what we seek. when we close our eyes and breathe in deep. we are never close enough. to where we thought we'd be by now. with matches and memories. we stretch beyond our reverie. i remember the sun. waking you up in my arms. four seasons. got you on the run. you spoke softly of the streets. the way they pulled you through the city. weighted lined and colonized. the pull of buildings left you tied. rising from their concrete beds. reflecting off where we first met. shards of glass disintegrate. fragment, fall abreviate. the way we're blessed with light grey days. and urged by temperate winds to say. we are never more or less than who we love or who loves us. but we are, after all, apologists on the fall. from grace and rooftops, singing rain. a setting sun, an awkward name. attaching our afterthoughts to the tailends of subway trains, anything accelerating. imagine us far away.
