lyrics

in the distance dogs are barking
a crow is car alarming
the sky is that shade of blue
where the trees are dark the day is through
and you find yourself unguarded
then your lungs start overflowing
your chest finally opens
you see the person next to you
you see them like you’ve wanted to in that moment
and they know it

when i was sick for forty days
i left my bed all kinds of ways
i slept out in a field of deer
cut my hair like the rocketeer

all around me sweet people
were fighting that machine evil
and i thought that i’d be on their side
way up in the crystal skies

now i’m grown or so it seems
and i can’t find those rocket wings
the sun is setting so am i
yellow gasping gauzy light

i’m riding in the back of a camry
you know who you are you’re family
i don’t want to teach them
i don’t want to try to reach them
i don’t care if they can’t understand me
don’t tell her where to turn
don’t tell her how to drive
if she's not getting through
maybe that’s on you
maybe talk to your guys
i wish i was a young lord
pa que tu lo sepas
but i live in maine
and i learned to speak mostly from telenovelas
there’s a war going on
there’s a bird in a cage
there’s a cure for corruption
it’s rage

of course i don’t think this’ll end well
the life force might just be pain
and at best we might turn into saviors with nothing to save
of course i’m still trying like crazy
here’s a truck full of garbage and news
here’s a jar full of coins for a family to pay for a cruise
of course i need her unlike anything
maybe church but for something more real
they say it won’t last they say it never has but my faith is in the way it feels

you’re too young to be a poet and too old to be a hit
you’re not sure enough for violence but you think about it
you know nothing ever changes you know change is all there is
you fell for this completely so there's one good thing you did
you’ll be singing every morning
like a kingfisher in fog
like the rabid little foxes
so we can’t let out the dog
there are pockets of the daytime
where every little thing is clear
where you’re busting through a skylight
like the fucking rocketeer
then you’re back to going circles
all around a kind of greed
it is early in the spring still
but the yard is full of weeds
and i don’t think this’ll end well
even if we learned to fly
we could save the day today
and tomorrow not know why

in the distance dogs are barking
a crow a car alarm
the sky is that shade of blue
where the trees are dark and the day is through
and you find yourself unguarded
then your lungs start overflowing
and your chest finally opens
and you see the person next to you
you see everything they are to you in that moment
