Our friends on the front porch, jokes And they swing towards happier times lines and finding more energy for the effort And getting distance from that front porch
But us, we found in shadows Long to see the monsters rise Candy's got some space to fill in her Living on yesterday's lie
Talking to me some 0% interest And how she got a deal than the next guy And the way the shocked us When we lost And looking down that long highway
hair was longer then and now I remember Oh, the roads unencumbered by burning like wet matches Through my miracle mile
You left thumbprint inside me Now for months it But mine brushes your soft surface And somehow it leaves me
My tongue under my lips, oh yes So I speak to tell you of the months before I met you And the way the truth, it us Right about the time after the shocked us
When we young and missing that small New England byway Our lives they were then and I now I remember it's not even being about that anymore
I gotta get you Those fragments of perfection They me in a time unchanged When not the same beginning Or along end
If I knew all the I would write myself out of If I was all the I paint you pretty in gold in a picture So I'm told, little So now I'm sold, little
Why you tell me about The in Sweden And the of Eden And how you were the of Gibraltar And how they called you
Well that's whole box of Pandora's That's another whole box of ties Slide foot off the gas Before we crash right into the median
It separates our house from the of the street about our house is on the front porch Telling jokes and swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and more energy for the effort
And getting from that front porch spotlight But us we found in shadows Long enough to see a die We all need to find a little space in our
Long enough and just so enough, just as long, just so long As it's enough, is it long enough? Is it long enough for me? 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 it won't And that's just the way it goes
