lyrics

Caught a ride on the heading somewhere train
And fantasized that we would go live
Where we danced in the shadows of airplanes
And wondered when the birds became so big
I’ve been chasing the shine like the moths do
My whole life I’ve been searching for the prettiest lights
But I mistakenly called you
To follow me back to the city tonight

Morning comes to Montana
Snow capped frames outline the panorama
Spend the whole damn night in the observation car
And felt like a insect in a mason jar
I sigh like the wheels when the train departs
And sleep with the sway of a changing heart
Traveled thousands of miles tryna to make a mark
I won’t complain at all, it’s just the way we are
Do you remember that day on Wy’east
When we found the old creek in the dry heat?
I was dirty from my head to my feet
And the Shadows in the dust were our only time piece
What if we could’ve stayed
Made shelter from the old growth to sleep in the shade
Made dinner from blackberries and meat from our prey
And turned to the stars if we needed to be entertained

Afternoon arrives in Idaho
It’s all too perfect, almost feels like a biodome
What a silly notion. Thoughts from the twilight zone
Coeur D’Alene Lake looking like a blue kaleidoscope
Something tells me if this were a movie
I’d send a message in a bottle leading you to me
Tell you to pack the love letters and the plastic
So you have reason to come, means to match it
When you arrived, I’d be readying the riverboat
Dripping wet from a dip in the swimming hole
We’d start the ever after, and soon forget the past
Point to a plane like wow, what is that?

We always head home, we always head home
The lights from the streets drown the milky way’s glow
Lead by the pull, we can never let go
It ain’t quite the same but I’m still amazed though
