Banner Pilot - Milemarking lyrics

rate me

I've chased this blue moon down all night, <br />

Have I been gaining any ground?<br />

Your picture's stapled to my dash.<br />

I'm done killing time in gray ghost towns.<br />

I'm heading south in search of life; <br />

The blinding turns, the twisting knives, <br />

Now I'm just driving straight on.<br />

<br />

I'll scrape the freezing rain off this window pane; <br />

A couple states from sane, eyes aching, drift awaken.<br />

Until the ice bleeds blue, until the green shoots through.<br />

Until I get to you, I'll brace for your screen door.<br />

<br />

Gravity struck, I rolled downhill.<br />

Seen depths I've never seen before.<br />

It's hard to warm against concrete; <br />

You can't wrap your arms around a floor.<br />

So now I beat a fast retreat back to SLP and your street; <br />

Can you just hold on?<br />

<br />

Living reckless and naive; <br />

It's always so easy to leave but then it's hard to get back.<br />

I closed my eyes and I looked at you, <br />

Counted up all of my mistakes, <br />

Choked some more muddy coffee back, <br />

And did my best just to stay awake.<br />

<br />

If I could just stay awake, <br />

Don't know why I left you.</
