Our friends on the front porch, well they're telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier timesExpending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch spotlightBut us we found peace in shadows, long enough to see the monsters riseCandy's got some space to fill in her daydream living high on yesterday's liesTalking to me about some 0% interest and, how she got a better deal than the next guy
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and we were lookingDown that long Missouri highway your hair was longer then and now I can rememberSay now I remember oh so well
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mindYou left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but mine only brushes your soft surfaceAnd somehowSomehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yesSo I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you
And the way, oh the truth it locked usOh right about the time after the lightning shocked usWhen we were young, when we were young and missingRound that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can rememberSay now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you downThose tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a timeUnchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end...If I knew all the words I would write myself out of hereIf I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture, so I'm told little sisterSo now I'm sold little sisterWhy don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of EdenAnd how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy
Well that's another whole box of pandora's, that's another whole box of them tiesSlide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the medianRight back into the median, the median lo-ohIt separates, our house from the middle of the street...It separates our house from the middle of the street
Talking about our house
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier timesExpending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porchSpotlightBut us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die.We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long.Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough?Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on.If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont.And that's just the way that it goes.
