lyrics

On the 7th Day…(I discovered nothing)

I breathe like there’s an anvil on my chest, I hope Sunday never comes
I survive off the reflection in your eyes like solar panels pointed to southern skies
and we sleep til Columbus Day and discover I didn’t miss much that way except the people I love
didn’t know who I thought I’d find, maybe someone who stayed behind, but they all scattered the globe.
this town’s been scrapped and stripped of its parts, boxed up and shipped, and scattered the globe
and you left to find a piece of yourself, peace of mind, so we scattered the globe

and we love like we’re leaving tomorrow and pray it never comes
dig til this place is hollow and we’re all alone

this town’s been scrapped and stripped of its parts, boxed up and shipped, and scattered the globe
and you left to find a piece of yourself, peace of mind, so we scattered the globe
sleep til Columbus Day and discover I didn’t miss much that way except the people I love
didn’t know who I thought I’d find, maybe someone stayed behind, but they scattered the globe

and we love like we’re leaving tomorrow and hope it never comes
dig til this place is hollow and we’re all alone
love like we’re leaving tomorrow and it’ll never come
one by one til this place is hollow and empty when we come, when we get back home and

all the kids in the town want out, turn the volume up to twenty-two
all the kids in the town want out, everyone except me and you
the tower overlooks the sound and keeps the music coming loud
so we can sing the songs we love like we’re leaving tomorrow and it’ll never come
one by one til this place is hollow and we’re all alone, we’re all alone
and we love like we’re leaving tomorrow and pray it never comes
one by one til this place is hollow and we’re all alone

hugging pillows that can’t hug back, I’m so missing my better half
hugging pillows that can’t hug back, I’m so missing my better half
hugging pillows that can’t hug back, I’m so missing my better half
hugging pillows that can’t hug back, I’m so missing my better halves
