Our friends on the front porch, jokes And they swing swiftly happier times Expending lines and more energy for the effort And getting distance from that porch spotlight
But us, we found in shadows enough to see the monsters rise Candy's got space to fill in her daydreams Living high on lie
to me about some 0% interest And how she got a better deal than the guy And the way the lightning us When we lost And looking that long Missouri highway
Your hair was longer then and now I Oh, the roads by cats They're burning like wet Through my mile mind
You left your inside me Now for it seems But mine only your soft surface And somehow it me listless
My tongue under my lips, oh yes So I speak to tell you of the months before I met you And the way the truth, it us Right about the time the lightning shocked us
When we were young and Round that small New England Our they were sheltered then and I now I remember Well not even being about that anymore
I get you down Those fragments of perfection They me in a time unchanged When not the same beginning Or along end
If I all the words I write myself out of here If I was all the I paint you pretty in gold in a picture So I'm told, sister So now I'm sold, sister
Why don't you tell me The in Sweden And the of Eden And how you were the Rock of And how they called you
Well that's another box of Pandora's That's another box of them ties Slide foot off the gas Before we crash right back into the
It separates our house from the of the street about our house is on the front porch Telling jokes and they swing towards happier times Expending and finding more energy for the effort
And getting distance from front porch spotlight But us we found in shadows Long enough to see a die We all to find a little space in our daydreams
Long enough and so long enough, just as long, just so long As it's long enough, is it enough? Is it long for me? Long enough for me to chew on
If it isn't, if it isn't, if it ain't, if it don't, if it then it won't And just the way that it goes
