lyrics

Here's to the stop you felt on a Tuesday
Here's to that hand on your wrist
Here's to the pull you felt going backwards
And the feeling that you hadn't missed
Soft words come, clear and addictive
With a stare to pierce through the rest
You don't notice what you're not a part of
Someone else does that I guess

Searching for signals you're stopped by collision
A surprising distraction, I bet
But when sour turns sweet and you want a piece
Do you reach out for what's next
In this case there's no science no mystery
Cause you can't avoid blinding fact
But you sit and you take and you swallow what you get
Oh, but wait for the after effects

There's a feeling that comes when the fog rolls away
Flush the city out of your lungs, God take it away
There's a brand new frontier to take on your own way
Head towards the sun washed road and get on your own way

But how little you know, the same border is still in your way
You can turn to the right or the left but the same rules still in play
Like that book you're supposed to have read the options not going away
Just walk out and do it, deny it, you.

Don't fold up in some northern town, poison what you've let stay
There is fashion and fever in every new step it'd be shame to throw your work away

I used to be in a band called The Jupiter Project, and then I was in License, then I went toe-to-toe with Giant Battle Wombat and most recently I tried to keep up with the Paper Snakes. ... more
