The New Pornographers - 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 woke up torn

you're the temporary border

the heatwave 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 fight

but not that you were still the person sleeping

the heatwave humming in the house of cards

a play for the girl, a cross for a hook, sinking into the greasy wonder

under the sea, walking the floor, over the waves that we lived under

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 they have to, why?

because it isn't mine, remember?

killing time because it wasn't mine

you're earning your stripes, you're counting your stars

you're (???) you barely work and wash

you're lucky to be on the line like you are

you're lucky you've already been caught

something's 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 your stars

you're (???) you barely work and wash

you're lucky to be on the line like you are

you're lucky you've already been caught

something's unguided in the sky tonight

there is something unguided in the sky

(repeat)
