lyrics

news is breaking

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"
