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 the monsters rise Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream living high on yesterday's lies Talking to me about some 0% interest and how she got a better deal than the next guy And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and we were looking Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer then and now I can remember Say now I remember oh so well
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but mine only brushes your soft surface And somehow Somehow it leaves me listless my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you And the way, oh the truth it locked us Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us When we were young, when we were young and missing Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember Say now well I remember oh so well, almost too well Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
