lyrics

Daybreak lurks as I round the bend
Brick silhouettes and my backpack heavy
Strange advice from a stranger friend
An old receipt, I forget the meaning

Eyelids sink on the Midland line
I swear this time I'm stone cold sober
Tumbled up the mountainside
Only to find what lay over

It's too late to take back
Words laid flat in a bloodshot hour

Too late to wonder
On the overpass, in the too-hot shower

Too late to trumpet
Notes writ large in total dark

Too late for comfort
In greener grass in a parallel park

Harder on this side of the line
Straps cut hard and I sink in deeper
Got waylaid looking after my mind
Meet again, have we got the time

Sour dust sticking to my teeth
Makes me think of grander things
Lots of lives scurry far beneath
Trying harder than I ever will

It's too late to take back
Words laid flat in a bloodshot hour

Too late to wonder
On the overpass, in the too-hot shower

Too late to trumpet
Notes writ large in total dark
Too late for comfort in
Greener grass in a parallel park
