Staying Still

Original

We drank and I convinced you that the wildfire smoke was the northern lights.

Lately I've been looking at you harder, just taking you in.

At the callus on your finger from the handbrake grip on your junkyard bike, and your boots all filled with water.

I mean soaking wet.

But you could punch me in the gut and it wouldn't hurt like watching you grow smaller on the back road.

And I never ask for much, but I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado.

Oh, I can't keep on starting over.

Sleeping in a bed half empty, daydreaming.

All love must be over, search for it I will.

Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?

Are you good at staying still, or will you up and leave?

Will you be there in the morning?

I've always hated the sunlight at three PM, where it's too soon to quit thinking, too late to change anything.

I'm racking my brain for the one line that would change your mind.

So when your plane crashes online, it couldn't hurt to try.

But the charros meets the sun, and the Harvard track team runs past my truck stuck on Star Road.

And I never ask for much, but I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado.

'Cause I can't keep on starting over.

Sleeping in a bed half empty, daydreaming.

All love must be over, search for it I will.

Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?

Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?

Are you good at staying still?

Put in love, put in hours, put in ceremony.

As it was, how you were, who was there before me.

Never mind, never mind, I'll forget about it.

I'll be good, I'll be fine, I can let go about it.

I try to keep on starting over.

Sleeping in a bed half empty, daydreaming.

All love must be over, search for it I will.

Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?

Are you good at staying still?

Are you good at staying still, or will you up and leave?

Will you be there in the morning?
