Hippo Campus - Traveler lyrics

Lost to these linens My tasteless affections Are buried in the past Feelings so fleeting Yet never completing The thoughts I quelled to last It saw too I saw to it, Anna I saw too I saw to it, Anna I caught a line, I caught a line Clinging to my own devices Craving sleep when the evening comes Strip me down to a heart and lungs I always sang about ya Terrified of how waking life walks Frightened frame with a shirt that talks I tripped over the moon about ya Steadfast in nature The scenes on my pages Were all mirages now Everything’s vexing I’m more unconvincing Than both my parents now Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you Oh, oh, oh, you said that you wanted me too Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you Oh, oh, oh, twenty-one years for you Twenty-one years for you I woke with a headache My bones and my body Screamed, “Son, where the hell is your head?” I reached for some water To quench the fire That’s burning up in my bed Haze like a fever I fell like a dreamer For sweet tea and lemonade It clings to my T-shirt It’s loud and it lingers Designed to suffocate I light up to find What I’ve known all this time There’s some beauty here yet The folks in town Have the kindest eyes But you’ll drown in the ways you set I’ll flee like that fever Lost to that dreamer All pale-faced for leaving be Our time is a-coming But my heart is humming For a girl that I can’t see You’re a traveler Your heart is heavy now You’re a traveler Fresh out of your mother’s house
