lyrics

Skin stretches like a rubber band across a canyon
We’re all trying, trying not to snap
We blow through yellow lights like missiles on a mission
We’re just bracing, bracing for impact

We’re all so fast-forward, blurry shadows wearing thin
Drowning out our voices in the roar of rushing wind
Then your smile turns my head
The streetlights all burn red
And all the madness just stops

I’ve got a reason to run
I’m holding on tight
But you give me a reason to let go
They say I’ve got to go far
Say I’ve got to go wide
But you give me a reason to come home

Sand filters through the whittled waist of some glass lady
And I’m pelted, pelted by the rocks
We stretch each second into days until it breaks
Into the ticking, ticking of the clock

But between your shoulders, there’s a place to rest my head
And I find a rhythm in the rising of your chest
It rocks me silently
My lungs are empty
But your breath is filling me up

I’ve got a reason to run
I’m holding on tight
But you give me a reason to let go
They say I’ve got to go far
Say I’ve got to go wide
But you give me a reason to come home

Trains wrestle sparks right from the tracks
Baby, slow me down
Volcanoes turn the clouds to ash
Baby, slow me down
Waves swallow mansions when they crash
Baby, slow me down
Be still and slow me down

I’ve got a reason to run
I’m holding on tight
But you give me a reason to let go
They say I’ve got to go far
Say I’ve got to go wide
But you give me a reason to come home
