[Hook] x2
Outside, there's a boxcar waitin' for us. It ain't in a rush
So we can paint with a brush made of patience and such
And keep the faith in our guts
[Verse 1]
Now these ants in my heart got it dancin' in the dark
With a flash and a spark, she advances with a shark
In a choke hold, no cold, we're eatin' good tonight
The two leadin' look-a-likes, from every seedy nook in site
Hindsight flight of the offshore fishermen
This feelin' even better than the fair-weather men
That led me to believe, led me to the seas
Where the fish and disease are just wicks lit in the breeze
Leave, the injuries leave like a treaty
From the hand of the bleeding, while we stand there repeating
"We can't leave this evening; it's too young to start retreating
We can't leave this evening; it's too young to start retreating."
[Bridge]x2
So now we're leaping from highs to highers
As we're sleeping beside a fire
And it's creeping inside the bed
Creeping inside the bed, creeping inside the bed
[Hook] x2
[Verse 2]
So with a stomach full of monarchs and eat, sleep on repeat
We leave them two leaves and leave this life
At ease riders on a storm
Too perfect to put into words; perfect is what it deserves
Curve the hurt and the nerves, so we can work our limbs
Around an urge and grin and bear the verge of overk**
Motor sk** heads, heading towards a bed of roses, called a haystack
And on the way back, I see her face crack
She's having dreams that a runaway cat came back
And I don't know what to say that'll change that
And I can't take that (I can't)
So when I can taste your misery, vividly
I want to instantly turn it into history
Bitterly sweet hearts and in the restart
Livin' like we heart too heart to heart for...
[Hook] x4
