St Mary's I do my best work when I should be doing something else ‘cause I can never help my hands or heart, I can’t help anything. In St. Mary’s we passed the time as jagged blades on clean-cut lawns. In St. Mary’s you are who you are because of what you have been. Just when you get used to the background you wake up to a whole different scene. I never wanted to be your impossibility. Now there’s no one on the line to meet ‘cause I bought off all my enemies. Rosa will be up in the city next week to bring the ring back to you. I don’t trust the rate change, I forgot the time changed, I forgot our minds changed. I don’t write to convince anymore when we both want more than what can be had on paper. I hope everybody’s happy now, the nerves are rooted in a natural fire to be saved. I don’t want to be just something that happened to you, just a footstep in the grand parade. So I string my shadow along six times over. It’s over your head, it’s over my shoulder. It doesn’t have to be fast, You can take your time. It doesn’t have to last. I just want it to be real I just want it to be right. I’m sure this car makes God awful sounds But I don’t care; I’ve got the radio on now. I’m waiting for a sign in a song to tell Tell me where to put myself. It doesn’t have to be fast, You can take your time. It doesn’t have to last. I just want it to be real I just want it to be right. Yeah I always walked that line and knew it But not before I redrew it. Somewhere the daylight is a set of wheels all in line In another place, in another time It would have been fine, I would have been alright. Love where the day goes past the blind eye And our roads touching only once make the desire cloud time I won’t be taken; I won’t be left behind. I counted my blessings just like beats They don’t add up but they sound good to me. I look at all the days you’ve lived and wonder if the summer ones are still for me long after you cooled it I look at all the years I’ve lived for you [this time won’t be the first time] and wonder if you knew it I wonder if you knew it I wonder if you knew this Kept watching you take it all to motion, all to the coast And the afterbody tastes like the love you’ve been wanting the most But it’s just the same old one come back as a ghost. It was more rare than it was real, it only meant the world to me But we left the world in St. Mary’s In search of something less rare and more real. You go one way so the distance comes Like a moon that for years hasn’t fucked. I crossed every line I could that day And now I’m taking my own holiday; I’m the one driving away for a change, For a change. Eve
