Lyrics:
Fumbling for your keys in panic,
undercover garage’s dampening the sound of the world walking tall all over you and taking you for granted.
Your sunset’s dipping in subtle time,
and mine was hanging low hours ago,
and although you think you’d burned it up too bad you still could call.
And I know you’re hopeful when you’re unadorned, but I hoped that you would be unafraid.

I was saying yes cuz I was desperate for less,
I guess the fact that we were trapped inside that room is all I got that’s definite.
And I prayed that sleep would take you for a bit, til then I held your shaking body in my hands.
And the locust din was wearing thin in the evening I suppose,
and I knew you were preparing to be leaving to the coast.

But what could I do right to keep you safe while you’re in flight,
to keep the plane and all alight among it’s engines in the sky?
And what could I do right to keep your faith between the lines?
You know I’d take it all away from you I’m trying to.
But what could I do right from this side, situated right of the Continental Divide?

And I know you’re hopeful when you’re unadorned,
but I wish that you weren’t so far away.

What could I do right to keep you safe all of your life,
to keep the waves from rising higher than the cities in their sights?
And what could I do right to keep you weightless for a while?
You know I’d take this all away from you, I’m trying to.

But the locust din was wearing thin in the evening I suppose,
and I know that you’re preparing to be leaving to the coast.
This whole month I wasted every morning fixing on the way we left it,
and how we meant it,
and how you meant it, the way you left it,
and how I meant it.
