lyrics

every day is all black-topped & moving, asphalt heating and cooling, heat just hanging like fog
a predetermined path through the ether, the yearly trek through the winter, repeating in time
i was trying to draw this line darker, freeze us both in a picture like a sword in a stone
let’s just sit here and look at each other & enjoy one another & the way that we are
every night is a cloak we confide in, a brief pause to the grinding, eternal eye of the storm
all time is determined and rolling, pushing forward & pulling, a predictable spin
every morning is sharp-eyed & shining, a sun-soaked silver lining, we’re running in place
all the mistakes we made in the evening, all the flaws in our upbringing are plain as the day
you are a beacon of light on a dull day, the dark that descends every evening, the night & the day
