The Archetype Logs

as the stars rise up
for the six hundredth time
i put the glass down
and hide my breath away
put the peddle on the floor
im comin over

rain punishes the window
blinding my sights
i got a bottle in the backseat
singing songs from forgotten days
running chances through my head
piecing everything together
of whats been left unsaid

every push against the bricks
every new acre my soul has explored
every time my body was empty
and i told myself i could take more
i had our rust colored picture in mind

i said why dont you let me in
its kind of wet out here
everything i need
is right inside
anyway
can you read the words behind a smile
im about ready to jump ship
so ready for this

what if i told you
the one thing i wanted
more than the world
was just to hold you
for two minutes
brush your cheek
forget about everyone else
baby please
just listen to me
i know you can see
im not the same boy i used to be

every push against the bricks
every new acre my soul has explored
every time my body was empty
and i told myself i could take more
i had our rust colored picture in mind

we dance
we play
god after so long
how does it feel the same
im not ready to leave
not tonight
darling i swear
i wont cross that line

ill take out a blanket
sleep on the floor
next to your bed
restless with lights out
you know im right
ok you can come up
but just for tonight

every push against the bricks
every new acre my soul has explored
every time my body was empty
and i told myself i could take more
i had our rust colored picture in mind
