Horses in First Drafts Lyrics

All I wanna do is sleep

And drink hot honey water in a dream

All I wanna do is be

Untroubled before a soft-core stream

Feeling free

But I hear your heart pounding like

Hooves upon the shore

And your bright face is enlightening

The dark side of my door

And your clear voice is ringing out

It's time to go to war

But all I wanna do is sleep

But you know that there's been

So many horses in

First drafts of lyrics

Not make the cut

And you know that I've tried

So hard to avoid

This one cliche

But I now wonder

Is it the one you want?

I now wonder

Is it the one you want?

I now wonder

Hey remember when we first heard "Holocene"?

We got real heavy into arpeggios

I was relieved to not be relied upon

To play any real guitar solos

Granted that we're not magnificent

We still tried our best to write quote-unquote

Hauntingly beautiful songs

In the most delicate and dulcet tones

But you know that there's been

So many horses in

First drafts of lyrics

Not make the cut

And you know how I've tried

So hard to avoid

This one cliche

But I now wonder

If it's the one you want (run with the horses)

I now wonder

If it's the one you want (run with the horses)

I now wonder

If it's the one (run with the horses)

You want

Cos every other flanneled father

Roughly my age

Can't help themselves but sing along

With The Boss

And when it hits the chorus

We hear the galloping of horses

And we believe even just for a minute

We could recover all we've lost

Singing baby

Let me bring you underwing now

Rib to rib as first lovers be

And we would learn

To ride the lightning

Out to the far end of the sea

I wanna behold you in all your glory

See how you run under the hood

I'll pledge to you alone

My heart and flesh

And all my earthly goods

But you know this is where it gets

So embarrassing

That we'd trade this for a simulation

Of smeared honey on our knees

Or otherwise we bear down hard

Play every co-dependent card

And stay convinced

This is how we lead

But you know

I tried so hard to avoid these

Cliches I rightly resisted

But I'm left wondering

Is there one I can't outrun?

Run with the horses

Run with the horses

I still wonder

What it is you want

Am I a bride or am I a son?

Or is it whatever

Being a man means

In Heaven's eternity

That I can fully rest

My head upon

Til we behold what we'll become

Run with the horses

Run with the horses
