OCur friends on the fGront porch,
well they're telling jokes and they
sAmwing swiftly towards hFappier times
ECxpending lines and fGinding more energy for the eAmffort
and getting distanceF from that front porch spotlight
BCut us we foGund peace in shadowAms
long enough to sFee the monsters rise
CCandy's got some spacGe to fill in her dAmaydream
living high on yFesterday's lies
TCalking to me about some G0% intAmerest and
how she got a bFetter deal than the next guy
AAmnd the Am7way the lightning shocked uAms
when we were Dlost and we were looking
DAmown that lAm7ong Missouri highwayAm your hair was longer
then and nowD I can remember
Say Fnow I remember oh so well
OCh the roads unencumbGered by cats
they're burning Amlike wet matches
through my miracle mileF mind
YCou left your thumbGprint inside me now
for months it seems but Ammine
only brushes your soft sFurface
And somehow
SComehow it leGaves me listless
mAmy tongue curls undFer my lips oh oh yes
SCo I can't spGeak to tell you of the Ammonths before I metF you
AAmnd the Am7way, oh the truth it lockedAm us
Oh rAm7ight about the time after the lightninAmg shocked us
When we were Am7young, when we wereAm young and missing
RounAm7d that small New England byway Amour lives they were sheltered then and now ID can remember
SFay now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
(Repeat Verse Chord Pattern)
Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
Unchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here
If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture,
So I'm told little sister
So now I'm sold little sister
Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy
Well that's another whole box of pandora's,
That's another whole box of them ties
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median
Right back into the median, the median lo-oh
It separates, our house from the middle of the street
It separates our house from the middle of the street
Talking about our house
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch
Spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die.
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long.
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough?
Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on.
If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont.
And that's just the way that it goes.
