lyrics

Be a shame to waste this day
When we're not promised more
Sky could collapse at anytime I know
You're thinking
What's it for
Can't see the lining in the rubble right now
Spread out on the floor
Take what is needed leave the rest to burn
Tomorrow will be different, I am sure

Stop and take an inventory of what is
Working for you right now
Chances are you'll end up with some idea
You would have folded anyhow
Staying in recovering bravery
I'll sit here quietly
Waiting patiently

Well I'm a little skeptical
When the colors match too well
Nature doesn't coordinate them rhythms I know
I'm an endless wishing spell
Seems almost hysterical to think about
Summer's lapsed in ignorance
Your shameless youth lost in the sediment
And washed to match the rest out on that line

And if it helps
I'll draw a map
Save us from wasting attention
We don't have a second oh no
Waiver to sign
Put down your pen
Danger's waiting
She don't look to patient Oh no
We don't hear all those old lines
Reactions depending
Its more than just me here this time
Writing these lines

Seems a little cynical
Shutting down the sea
Cutting down a forest shuts the air you breath
But its safe to fall asleep
Someone will be here when you awake
Let your head rest down on me
I tell you its just the best feeling
Knowing I can be here when you need
