We talk the sun down We talk a monumental game We wish we were older We’re moths without a flame So I’ll go away And I’ll ruminate on charming things to say And you’ll stay ‘Cause you only love the things you’ve kept at bay Darling, I’m not waiting It’s been too long Darling, I’m not waiting I’m gone, I’m gone We live for wonder We live in a sentimental haze It hurts when it’s over So we’ll go the other way And I know you see All the holes in your reliability But you’d be Such a flawed and flaky sweetheart here with me But darling, I’m not waiting It’s been too long Darling, I’m not waiting I’m gone, I’m gone We’ll search the earth, Compare the notes we find, We’ll read from a thousand books And never leave a word behind We’ll take our chances, We’ll wish upon a distant star, And when it all falls down, We’ll find out who we are (Who we are) It’s just for the moment There’s nothing permanent with you I’m sure there’s a part of me That can tell you just what we should do But it’s only time It will stretch and bend until we reach our prime It’s sublime But it leaves us here with one more hill to climb Darling, I’m not waiting It’s been too long Darling, I’m not waiting I’m gone, I’m gone

She packed his bags and so did he They both had a world they had to see A whole day later they touched down at JFK He sighed “You know how much I hate to go away” She said “I know you tend to dwell on the tragic, But think about it, this could be magic!” Wave your hands all you want although I know you still care for me Throw your hands up in the air, Wave ‘em around because you care too much Girl, I’ll follow anywhere because I know you’ll be there for me Boy, you’d better take it easy ‘cause I’m looking for a lighter touch They drove upstate, she held his hand That’s when she knew he would never understand They stopped for gas and when he went inside She knew in herself it’s time to get off this ride She said “I only ever wanted to love you, But boy, I can’t believe I’m letting go of you” Wave your hands all you want although I know you still care for me Throw your hands up in the air, Wave ‘em around because you care too much Girl, I’ll follow anywhere because I know you’ll be there for me Boy, you’d better take it easy ‘cause I’m looking for a lighter touch He said “Please darlin’, take my hand There ain’t a thing we can’t rise above” And then she told him “Honey, this was the last chance That either of us had for love” He caught connections down to Memphis Tennessee And reconciled that this was never meant to be She lost her luggage in Chicago all alone And wondered "What's the point in ever going home?" Then a year ago she moved to Seattle 'Cause finding happiness is half of the battle Wave your hands all you want although I know you still care for me Throw your hands up in the air, Wave ‘em around because you care too much Girl, I’ll follow anywhere because I know you’ll be there for me Boy, you’d better take it easy ‘cause I’m looking for a lighter touch

While away the weeks, I watch my weary little world And wander ‘round Fending off the future while I fumble for a feeling Still unfound It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for You’re good at keeping your feet on the ground Keep a calm composure, you’re collecting cadences And calling clowns Paint imperfect pictures with some purpose and your time Will come around It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for You’re good at keeping your feet on the ground (Keep carrying on) You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for It’s just part of the sound And it was all on me, how I thought it would be But I could not see that far It was all on me, how I thought it would be And it’s hard… --- Now you might well have been rockin’ a microphone before I was born But you can clearly fuckin’ see that I’m a little bit torn between The future and the past, the feast before the fast And the memories and plans that were never gonna last ‘Cause you’re flaky, shaky, heart’s a little breaky It’s easier to dream than to keep yourself awakey Keep calm and carry on doing this shit There’ll always be the times you tell yourself “I’m through with this shit” But when the shit goes down, I don’t know where I’ll be But I can tell you that my name will still be… The endomorph chameleon, make you high like helium Or bum you out until the point you wonder “What’s his deal again? Is he a sweetie being clever and smart Or is he cancerous and bad for me like smokin’ a dart?” I don’t know, but there’s a place I wanna show you around It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for You’re good at keeping your feet on the ground You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for While away the weeks, I watch my weary little world And wander ‘round Fending off the future while I fumble for a feeling Still unfound It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for You’re good at keeping your feet on the ground Keep a calm composure, you’re collecting cadences And calling clowns Paint imperfect pictures with some purpose and your time Will come around It’s just part of the sound You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for You’re good at keeping your feet on the ground (Keep carrying on) You’ve got no fuckin’ idea what you’re in for It’s just part of the sound And it was all on me, how I thought it would be But I could not see that far It was all on me, how I thought it would be And it’s hard… --- Now you might well have been rockin’ a microphone before I was born But you can clearly fuckin’ see that I’m a little bit torn between The future and the past The feast before the fast And the memories and plans that were never gonna last ‘Cause you’re flaky, shaky, heart’s a little breaky It’s easier to dream than to keep yourself awakey Keep calm and carry on doing this shit There’ll always be the times you tell yourself “I’m through with this shit” But when the shit goes down, I don’t know where I’ll be But I can tell you that my name will still be… The endomorph chameleon, Make you high like helium Or bum you out until the point you wonder “What’s his deal again?

I just wanna talk to you Soon I’m not gonna try and make you Swoon ‘Cause I realize That I can’t un-realize you But I recognize What I do It might have taken me all night but I got there I wanna know right and wrong but to be fair I didn’t know much I didn’t know much, I didn’t know you Didn’t know the harm that we could do And one day I’ll see you I couldn’t just trust, I couldn’t just be Even though it might be good for me I don’t know We’ll see Don’t want you to worry It’s OK It’s taken an age to be that way I can empathize ‘Cause I know you’re just like me And with open eyes You’ll see Pass my blame onto weakness And on long, dark days it can seem like I couldn’t care less I couldn’t care less, it broke my heart So I took it right back to the start And one day You’ll hear me I’ve gotta just go, gotta move on ‘Cause things that you love will soon be gone And you miss them Dearly No lover don’t worry, please There’ll always be other days like these When you realize All the places you could go When questioning everything you know But then again… I didn’t know much, I didn’t know you Didn’t know the harm that we could do And one day I’ll see you I couldn’t just trust, I couldn’t just be Even though it might be good for me I don’t know We’ll see I couldn’t care less, it broke my heart So I took it right back to the start And one day You’ll hear me I’ve gotta just go, gotta move on ‘Cause things that you love will soon be gone And you miss them Dearly And you miss them Dearly
