Beyond the Line Lyrics

Eastern promise

Western shadow

Let's be honest and we'll get to the heart of the matter

Fever common

In every Van Gogh

Comet, flame, ache in a brushstroke

April, she breaks with a cruel joke

Every fool knows that

When the lights go out

We're mystified

You say you want to take this beyond the line

There's a border you cross

Where something gets lost

Maybe it's time

Take it beyond the line

I'm ready when you're ready to

Take it beyond the line

Catching my breath

Miss Cathedral

Dance silhouette in the high beams

Ten thousand miles under Main Street

And the landscape changes

Once you've traveled

Where all your fine crystal castles

Become excuses and aspirin

When the lights go out

Are we mystified

You say you want to take this beyond the line

You can set the pace

We can play it safe

Hey I don't mind

I'm ready when you're ready to

Take it beyond the line

You just tell me when you're ready to

Take it beyond the line

On a runaway train

They call desire

Burring through my brain

Like a forest fire

Making me swear things

I can't guarantee

It's your fingertips on the cherry bomb

The cigarettes

The Sigur Ròs

The nervous wreck we covered up

In cheap white motel sheets

A French exhale, A Spanish wine

The Southern heat, the August night

Yes, no

Maybe it's time

Yes, no

Maybe it's time

Well the summer lawns are further gone

Than I realized

Take it beyond the line

I'm ready when you're ready to

Take it beyond the line

Just tell me when you're ready to

Take it beyond the line
