storrow drive Lyrics

Watchin' you load the shotgun

Stuff down the column

Countin' your steady paces

Line sights with that horizon

An 8.5 month phase

I was livin' just south of Boston

Gettin' up the latest

Hopin' you'd leave the light on

Watching you load the shotgun

We fall apart and

Stopped dead at 22

The hell I'm supposed to do?

Somehow we always end up fallin'

Watch as you end up crawling

Hold fire until we're near

Iris gives way to white

Peer through the sights and see it clear

Wide eyes like 17
We were autumn lovers then

Too caught up in the phase to see the maze that we were in

A dream of brighter days

To grasp but never keep

A dream to coexist

Before the distance made us week

New York to Storrow Drive

New York to IAD

So caught up in the thought of being lost with you at sea

As organs start to bleed (Watchin' you load the shotgun, wide eyes stuff down the column)

Start to bleed (You're takin' your steady paces, line sights)

Drift down like falling leaves (An 8.5 month phase)

Weighed down by gravity (You were livin' just south of me)

How long will I believe? (Gettin' up the latest, walkin' aimless, watchin')

And time goes running free (Watchin' you load the shotgun, wide eyes stuff down the column)

With no apology (You're takin' your steady paces, line sights)

How long till i perceive (An 8.5 month phase)

The forest for the trees? (She was livin' just south of me)

How long will I believe? (Gettin' up the latest, walkin' aimless, watchin')

As words grew dry as cotton

As nerves grew hard as steel

As weeks of breathing life in what had died lost the appeal

Grew faint with passin' time

We laid it all to rest

Each day you'd close your eyes and be surprised a little less
