Lyrics
Last night it dawned on me
I’m through with waiting
nothing’s quite panned out
like we thought it would
but I’ll keep with me sundays on shady ave
or northern philly boroughs
where we said “this is it”
drive home
he felt that he’d make it through another year
if only he’d keep on, lying scenery
like a made-up backstory
feeling like hope is oh so distant
foreign streets
won’t set the pace,
just wait for the slightest sunrise
take my hand,
and let’s give up fucking halfway
this hasn’t quite turned out
like I thought it would
come on, show me a face
that just can’t turn away
smile as clouds roll in
(take it all the way)
drive home
I’d like to think
we’re not so distant
I remember nights as a kid
discman by my bed,
spinning something like type o
and I’d like to think
we’re not so distant
foreign streets won't set our pace
carry sail to the sunrise
stay with me
let wasting my nights for you
hush awkward forbearing
Stay with me
So used to
barely scraping by
fall asleep to your writing
this room’s threadbare
all we’re worth is ringing out of
past-due strings
(if we could face ourselves,
yeah like we could)
But we’re all have-nots
and has-beens
that’s all we’ll ever know
