New Pornographers, The - Unguided lyrics

rate me

In every story, every secret told

You are not the first to wake up

To learn your lines before you have the part

You woke up early and you walk up torn

You the temporary boarder

The heat wave humming in the house of cards

You spun chapter into rapture there

Yeah, you were as brave as traffic

You chased the spotlight into her arms

And you forgot that you could file the knot

That you were still the person sleeping

The heat wave humming in the house of cards

A play for the girl

A cross for a hook

Sinking into the green sea wonder

Under the sea

Walking the floor

Over the waves the wheeling thunder

Something's unguided in the sky tonight

There is something unguided in the sky

You wrote yourself into a corner, safe

Easy to defend your borders

A fallen saint into a whispered time

Killing time because I have to, why?

Because it isn't mine, remember?

Killing time because it wasn't mine

You're earning your stripes

You're counting the stars

You're winding your barely-working watch

You're lucky to be on a land like you are

Lucky you've already become

There's something unguided in the sky tonight

There is something unguided in the sky

And why wait

For the weakened state

To lie next

To the weaker sex

And why wait

For the weakened state

To lie next

To the weaker sex

You're earning your stripes

You're counting the stars

You're winding your barely-working watch

You're lucky to be on a land like you are

Lucky you've already become

There's something unguided in the sky tonight

There is something unguided in the sky

There's something unguided in the sky tonight

There is something unguided in the sky
