Lyrics
street named for the plague that it brought
a backyard exam
a locust in hand
draw your name on the drying sidewalk
we'll all disappear
'least you knew you were here
for a little while
cold concrete smile
walk hand in hand with yourself
the voice you can't miss
been friends since you were kids &
most people don't get around to
staying up watching the news
your whole life looking out for it
can't look out for this
so call
it out by it's name
your sun-drenched, loveless, vacant day
i tried
but it stayed the same
your sun-drenched, loveless, vacant day
i saw in the checkout line
someone reminded me of you
cast off the dock in your line
sinking near mine
the cool April night
most people don't get around to
watch the sky fade to blue
with old light looking down on us
& it's hard to trust
so call
it out by it's name
your sun-drenched, loveless, vacant day
i tried
but it stayed the same
your sun-drenched, loveless, vacant day
i saw in the checkout line
someone reminded
me
of
you
