This is a song about the people you meet and connect with who share all your hopes and aspirations, but also your faults and the loving frustration this can make you can feel towards each other. It's my ode to the big drums, big reverbs and big metaphors of the '80s.
lyrics
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
