lyrics

I found a reason just for breathing sweet and fleeting at the foot of the steps
I tied a string around my finger to remind me not to hold my breath
The way the light hit the leaves and the dandelion seeds
And the water was a whisper through the river reeds
It was more than just a dream between the ether and what’s after death

You were a daffodil climbin for the sun thru the cigarette butts
I guess i put you in my pocket just to spite all the budget cuts
If my words were a thread made of silk worm spit
I bet they’d make a fine noose for to hang me with
If my thoughts had a number i don’t guess that they could ever add up

Honey don’t you shrink wrap your heart, it’ll be alright
Set it on the line, let it out and wait for the right one to bite

A bald black strip of rubber keeps me rolling on an open road
A thin line from my mind to the pages with the words I wrote
You can look for the truth in a grain of sand
Or the hunger in the eyes of a homeless man
I've been wearing out my engine, I've been looking for an antidote

Honey don’t you shrink wrap your heart, it’ll be alright
Set it on the line, let it out and wait for the right one to bite
You’ve got a lot on your mind, you should take your sweet time
If it hurts, you should know it wasn’t by design
And I’ll be waiting right here for your purple heart valentine
