These United States - First Sight lyrics

With her mouth making movements To introduce thoughts, i sat Deafened by trust on that sofa across Quietly calculating The logistics of lust O f when unspoken things couldn't Happen between us, and once All those were done and we got Through love, we would Shoot through the hip, reacting Off of the cuff, splitting Up at the fork when the going got rough, With a plan For a point to rejoin on the road further up Our windows thin where the ice Carved its flowers, i would Hold her, let the wind beat Back those hours, and then Standing on subway trains, clutching her dress, Dependent On her balance, since the walls were useless And while it's Alright to hold tight, please don't try to hold on, Cos it's a Homerun we hit, love, cos it's going and gone And then the world turned so fast, It was astoundingly still And it must have been that moment Made of midnight on the hill Right when the Cataraxed alleycat Spat back at the moon, throwing out Into the night, time nine Life times too soon we had Come such a ways, and knew just what he meant There's a picture of the three of us at the gate To the garden of eden You can get home, but you can't get in Locks are like longing; an everchanging thing And keys are just clouds made of metal and spark We knew exactly who we were, and yet Couldn't quite say who we still are I saw it all hapenning in one grand epic sweep, from that First sight that we wouldn't Get to sleep for a week And generations would follow The course that we'd charted From that sofa across, I couldn't Wait to get started.
