Our friends on the porch, telling jokes And they swiftly towards happier times lines and finding more energy for the effort And getting distance from that porch spotlight
But us, we found in shadows enough to see the monsters rise Candy's got space to fill in her daydreams high on yesterday's lie
Talking to me some 0% interest And how she got a deal than the next guy And the way the lightning us we were lost And down that long Missouri highway
Your hair was longer then and now I Oh, the roads unencumbered by They're like wet matches Through my miracle mind
You left your thumbprint me Now for it seems But mine only brushes soft surface And somehow it me listless
My curls under my lips, oh yes So I can't speak to tell you of the before I met you And the way the truth, it us Right about the time after the lightning us
When we young and missing Round that New England byway Our lives were sheltered then and I now I remember Well it's not being about that anymore
I gotta get you Those tiny of perfection They me in a time unchanged When it's not the beginning Or along end
If I knew all the I would write out of here 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 sunsets in And the of Eden And how you were the Rock of And how they called you
Well that's whole box of Pandora's another whole box of them ties Slide foot off the gas Before we crash back into the median
It separates our from the middle of the street Talking about our house is on the front Telling jokes and swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and more energy for the effort
And getting distance from that porch spotlight But us we found peace in Long to see a monster die We all need to find a space in our daydreams
Long enough and so long Long enough, just as long, just so As it's long enough, is it enough? Is it long enough for me? Long for me to chew on
If it isn't, if it isn't, if it ain't, if it don't, if it then it won't And that's the way that it goes
