lyrics
a photograph,
red leather jacket in the sun.
no it couldn't last,
trying to live Leda and the Swan.
did I cut too close?
holding hands and driving fast on 40 east.
coming down,
was just as scary as looking up,
at the yellow moon,
without so much as a hint of why we were drawn to 'wake up time'
and now we're gone.
the wind is stronger than both of us combined.
over wheels.
was I pulling you?
or did I push the puppet strings apart?
either way,
it's funny how a single life has so many parts.
I think the trick,
is to look at it through friendly eyes, though you might not have seen em in a while.
we all move,
the wind is stronger than both of us combined.
over wheels.
photograph,
of a yellow moon.
did I cut too close?
without so much as a hint of why we were drawn to 'wake up time'
over wheels.
