Any day now, before I Ieave
for anywhere you'll never find me
or need me
Please tell me why
if you think that it's the right time just let me know
you can find me sitting on the tarmac,
buckled in the back seat, ready to go
Anything that I forgot to tell you, now you will never know
Cut the rope already, set sail for the next trail and
learn to let go
Please, I'm dying to know
as my heart beats sitting on the tarmac,
buckled in the back seat, ready to go

Concrete is complete with an imprint of your face
and I took my inaugural steps where the pavement is worn away
Perfection never translates, the meaning’s lost
but there’s asymmetry in the way that we profit from the cost
It feels like paralysis
your teeth are venom, sharp and restraining, so here I sit
all I wanted was to be the color in your eyes
instead I’m sequoia, boring and bored of whatever I...
You’re stealing from people with plenty, try me again
'cause all that I have to my name are the letters contained within
and I can’t tell you how to proceed
you can leave whenever you want but you won’t catch up to me
All I wanted was to be the color in your eyes
Instead I’m sequoia, boring and bored of whatever I am tonight

Sitting by myself at a table meant for two
and I rest my eyes on you
on the wall and I know what I have to do
when I’m chasing something
and she was something out of a magazine ad
that’s been bookmarked
and I was waking up on another planet
we remain apart
To me, yourself sells itself but you act like someone else
What is your explanation?
After mental exploration you’ll find there’s no need to apologize
It’s meaningless
Riding by yourself on a bicycle meant for two
and you need someone to
pick up the extra slack when it piles into a lot
and it takes all that you’ve got
and she was someone out of a fantasy
generating enough current for nuclear fusion
,
electric abuse of me
To me, yourself sells itself but you act like someone else
What is your explanation?
After mental exploration you’ll find there’s no need to apologize
It’s meaningless
You and me start again
,
arrival as strangers but left as friends
Two and I’d had enough,
stayed awake ‘til the sun came up

Aftershock

We're walking in isolation,
looking ahead to our various destinations
Often we share a glance, but the face isn’t registered
I’ll give you a chance to seem memorable
but I think we both know we think nothing of each other
we pass right on by and lock eyes with another
and the steps are re-ran, it’s out of our hands
goodbye for right now and until we meet a...
I do what I can, who I am has more say in my ways, after all
Used up voltage won’t be enough to reduce the aftershock
After all that I did for you
and all that I never got to
you made me feel like what’s real is a fantasy
clear out the morning fog, time to return to this
slow motion life with accelerated time-lapse
arrive at your place, record time,
just to find it had crystalline waters, as blue as you wanted
you only see red
When we meet again, we’re spread thin
and your eyes might as well be bowling balls
I’ll never forget what you said to me...
