[00:11.35]well our friends on the front porch
[00:13.75]where they're telling jokes and they swing on
[00:16.66]swiftly towards happier times
[00:19.40]they're expending the lines
[00:22.04]and finding more energy for the effort
[00:26.20]and getting distance from that front porch spotlight
[00:31.12]but us we found peace in the shadows
[00:35.90]long enough to see the monsters rise
[00:40.49]candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams
[00:46.31]living high on yesterday's lies
[00:50.01]talking to me about some 0% interest
[00:55.30]and how she got a better deal than the next guy
[00:59.05]and the way the lightning shocked us
[01:05.46]when we were lost and we were looking
[01:11.45]down that long missouri highway
[01:14.59]your hair was longer then and now I can remember
[01:19.76]see now well i remember oh so well
[01:23.22]oh the roads unencumbered by cats
[01:28.60]they're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind
[01:33.00]you left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems
[01:39.80]but mine only brushes your soft surface
[01:42.99]and somehow somehow it leaves me listless
[01:50.00]my tongue curls under my lips oh yes
[01:55.40]so I cant speak to tell you of the months before I met you
[02:01.85]and the way the truth it locked us
[02:15.59]right about the time after the lightning shocked us
[02:22.29]when we were young when we were young and missing
[02:30.23]round that small new england byway
[02:38.54]our lives they were sheltered then
[02:40.98]and I now I can remember
[02:43.60]say now i remember so well
[02:46.29]almost too well
[02:48.59]well its not even being about that anymore
[02:52.05]I gotta get you down
[02:53.95]those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
[02:58.75]unchanged when its not the same beginning
[03:02.70]or along awaited end
[03:04.60]if I knew all the words I would write myself out of here
[03:11.80]if I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture
[03:17.43]so I'm told little sister
[03:20.14]so now I'm sold little sister
[03:22.53]why don't you tell me about the sunsets in sweden,
[03:25.62]and the laws of eden
[03:27.08]and how you were the rock of gibraltar
[03:29.34]and how they called you foxy
[03:31.68]well that's another whole box of pandoras
[03:35.68]that's another whole box of them ties
[03:38.28]slide your foot off the gas
[03:39.78]before we crash right back into the median
[03:42.32]right back into the median the median
[03:45.83]it separates our house
[03:50.38]from the middle of the street
[03:53.91]it separates our house
[04:01.41]on the middle of the street
[04:03.61]
