Lungfish - Fresh Air Cure lyrics

The word I heard—cream in your coffee, hon the word I heard—nothing is easy, hon the word I heard—seeing is believing, hon the word I heard—you're gonna crash and burn the word I heard—round trip or one way, hon the word I heard—how long you gonna stay, hon the word I heard—careful what you say, hon the word I heard in front of the infant nation if I'd know you'd be an astronaut who'd figured you'd grow up to be an astronaut I'd been a stone mason if I'd known you'd grow up to be a messenger who'd figured you'd turn out to be a messenger if I'd know you'd been a messenger I'd been a firefighter things never have been wronger or righter things have never been hotter or brighter I keep waking up, I'm halfway there I live my life just barely aware I'm living the merciless I'm living in the irrevocable I'm living in a headlock I'm living in the unforgiving just about right here I'm always just about right now I live in the right here I live in the right now I keep waking up after I get done waking up I get to peeling I get to cracking up I get to blistering I get to twistering I start to bend and break I start to lurch and lunge I start to bolster and brace I start to crave and cringe I keep waking up, I'm halfway there I live my life just barely aware I'm always just about right here I'm always just about right now I don't sense time elapsing awash in the action we put our feet against the jungle we put the corn in the car we waited for the roads to spread we dove under and we fashioned presidents from carbon and water ownership was an inside job like rainbows from atoms like a soothing balm smeared on a dead branch like a mountain born of a single thrust like hair around the mouth like buoyant external lungs like bush scrub and sandstone like trumpet dust like a genetic pact like conceived borders fortified like nothing personal
