lyrics

For the thoughts, for the breach
I forgot to say I need this.
For the others, for when they preach,
I forgot the way he haunts me.
Keeping this from what you said when you read to me,
we’re flying kites in thunderstorms.
Holding on to streetlights forming shadows on the backseat driving almost finding places we’ll never meet.

What you say? Do you want more?
What you say drives me away.

All the things I took along
All the ones I strung along
Space needs time to move across
Time needs space for moving clocks
Gates are locked I know, but I don’t think you lost the keys.
It opens up for some.
Galaxies arrive like supernovas in the milky skies
We feel alive.
