Almost To The Water
Long before the phone
Long before the drone of the long ride home
Long before you on my door
What was there
What did i wear
How did it care
Were there slips of sadness
Slips of sadness under there
Did they cover her thighs
Cover with hair
These lights are saying someone crashed up there
What was before that
Who were they
And where
Love just kept breaking us down
I'm on a detour through this town
I'm almost to the water
When i drive i drive to my thoughts
That's my office for the day
I'm always heading far away
Heading for the letter wouldn't be
Wish you were here
Cuz that's long gone our hatemail happiness
We just had to put that one finally to rest
We tied it to a rock
Sent it on a walk
With Virginia when she drowned
And it's beautiful there trust me
Down the river with her genius
And it doesn't gut me every time i see it
So what's up with you
Did the water finally blue
Did you leave a scar on everyone you knew
Love just kept breaking us down
I'm on a detour through this town
I'm almost to the water
My love is in four seasons now
And trust me there's glowing on my skin
Even though the past always comes
With its drunken boots in
I feel better now and fundamentally strong
Like everywhere there's possibility
The possibility of song
It's kind of crazy what we did
Just made this mountainous magical meal
Now i just wanna digest and rest
Actually feel what i feel
I wanna turn off the phone
I wanna stop the drone
I wanna find a home
And just sit there
Cuz long before all of this
When we were creatures of constellations
We could glow and scream and be this beam
But we couldn't write with light vibrations
So i'm using my short time wisely
Cuz someday i'll be a far away gamma ray
And i'd rather write than fight
I'd rather write than fight
I'd rather be home and alone
I wish the highway would move itself
So i could go on with my show
Not gassed up and catapulted through
These millions of miles of air
I'm a space traveller
I'm a space maker
I'm an unraveller
I'm a pace maker
So keep up
So keep up
So keep up
