lyrics

I’ll remind you, I just can’t tell you enough
They all pass through
All those smokers think they’re tough
You've got ashes on your coat and a pocket filled with rain
So you brave the night alone,
With a little blue refrain

Saw a june bug, I turned on the evening fan
What I heard of
Was a lost ship reaching land
Got a glow stick in the dark,
I hoped it could light the way
Wait, it only goes so long
And it’s on its final spark

Have a lodestar and it’s always pointing wrong
I invite you, go ahead and sing along
You still have your old refrain
And you wear it like a watch
Open up, stay the same
Compass hands are always

I was northbound when you called me on the train
It’s been five years, but your voice still sounds the same
God I wish that I were free to say what you mean to me
But you’re late again, again, again I guess it has to wait

God I wish that I were free to say what you mean to me
But you’re late again, again, again I guess it has to wait
