lyrics

Instead

I can’t help but sway
As I hear that song
I long for the days
When we all would just pile on

As you walk down the street
Let me hold onto your thumb
Or at least keep it in reach
For the prodigal and dumb

It’s like I got the all clear
From some very queer commands
My systems go
Your systems slow

As you walk down the street
Let me hold onto your thumb
Or at least keep it in reach
For the prodigal and dumb

We lost interest in the hardest part
In the middle years
So far from home
A life apart
As you clutch your heart
As you clutch your heart
And declare I can’t see

I can’t help but sway
As I hear that song
I long for the days
When we all would just pile on
Before the shambling years
And the unshared tears
And the jettisoned bond
