News is Breaking

lyrics

The sun cried light as I watch the day break
Said that it was all that he could take
To see split in two, time, space, and University Drive
As I turned away from Mark Light's
Said my body was running out of time
Tired of hearing satellites insist I'm home
Cause when I am home
I'll stick my hand in that sand
And pray that I grow roots on the shores of the Long Island Sound

Surround the city from around the city
I am down so let's go out
We are never down-and-out
We are here now and now is forever
And now is forever

The way we live life
Like we're hurricanes
Come through with names never to be heard again
Miles of dissonance in the burden in the bond of distance
And the trust that what goes up
Always make it's way back home
Cause when I am home
I'll stick my hand in that sand
And pray that I grow roots through the cracks in the Grove's pavement

Surround the city from around the city
I am down so let's go out
We are never down-and-out
We are here now and now is forever
And now is forever

In my bed back home I was in an elevator in my dreams
In love with the girl next to me
I prayed she would say anything
And I'd wake sweating to the pulse around another light fixture
Do you think when she dreams that she dreams that I miss her?
Thinking throughout my sleep that I went our separate ways
And I let her slip from my memory
Banking on the daybreak
To save her from her heartache
But at least I feel safe with the good Sound around me
Got a 'Long Island sound' around me
"cause these are my friends
This is who they have been for always
These are my days
This is how they stay, hey, hey
These are my friends
This is who they have been for always
These are my days
This is how they stay, hey, hey, hey
This is how they stay hey, hey, hey, hey
This is how they stay, hey, hey
This is how they stay, hey, hey, hey, hey
This is how they stay, hey, hey"
