I start talking in my sleep now
Saying what I can’t to you
Mandatory cab rides
But it’s coming through, it’s coming though in twos
And if the skies are waiting for you
To bury all your tears and dreams
The furtherest star are the ones to aim for
Until you realize, the shooting ones aren’t seen
And you say
Chorus
“If I hold you, would you stay here,
Stay another day with me?”
I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics
Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me
Abiding universality
The generic man in me
The lawless coming of devastation
I’ll be your one way out if you’re the serpent to my seed
Casting spells of political elements
Believe a counterfeit bride too
Begging saints of Babylon
To reveal if the eighth mountain was made for you
But you just said
Chorus
“If I hold you, would you stay here,
Stay another day with me?”
I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics
Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me
Bridge
Well they said we wouldnt make it
But I’ve seen balloon parades make it though a road of blades
And they said it wouldn’t matter
While they passed color bars in eleven shades of grey
Riding through a tortured bottle
Still believing truths I speak
But I forget who I’m convincing
Embracing presage, of the last seventy weeks
But you said
Chorus
“If I hold you, would you stay here,
Stay another day with me?”
I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics
Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me
