lyrics

Late in the morning
early afternoon
you say it's natural to run our love on fumes
plow ahead
eyes on the wheel
we keep it straight, prick ourselves to feel
that's no way to get back what we had
I know you know

So we ignore
holes in the floor
rusty edges watch the road speeding by
turn up the dial just to drown out the noise
that's no way to fund a new sound
I know you know

and our verses still are singing in our heads
musicals about benevolent undead
chapters crying with the poetry of everyday
instead we look back as if it's all gone

Let's turn this key
just to see what explodes
let's push this pedal
just to see where this thing goes
We'll never find those missing pages we both know
unless we try to write a new one after

And now the letters leap and dance around the page
an immigrant arrives on a dimly lit sstage
we take the sounds of shuffling feet
and loop a new beat to our lives
and say surprise
it's here again
