Defiance Ohio - Hairpool lyrics

rate me

I'll tell you in street intersections

Cause they give you a place to go

Meanings to lines on maps

And tell you how you're gonna get home

Now I'm back here in the Midwest

Where everything's familiar and sincere

Everything's external

Nothing just happens to you here

In between coasts

Looking for what it was you lost on 2nd Street

Not what it was on Washington

And you let it go, you let it go, you let it go

And you jump into that pool undone

We're still in town

Isn't that fun, yeah, isn't that fun?

Now I know there's been some hard times

And I don't mean you and me

You're over-believing, back to forgetting

And you're turning on TV

What you see just makes you numb

And the headlines all become a blur

The years and the lives scroll by

Bottom of that screen like desert sand

And we're entrenched in a mess, embedded in our beds,

sleeping in

What I wouldn't give to want to live like I once did

Looking for what it was you lost on 2nd Street

Staring through the windows of my friends

And I can see all their loveliness

Imagining all clocks and dreams and thin clouds over

their heads

And we're waiting for the hesitation to end

This town is way too small to ever need the bus

So meet me at the pool that they keep unlocked all

night

For us
