lyrics

I've read it doesn't matter what you choose
it's all figure eights from win to lose
and us

I've walked miles with broken glass inside my shoe
feet bloody and bruised
but tough

I've got moxie and fire up my sleeve, love
fever you can't see, love
it's always humming low
i know that blue does not have arms to hold me
blue cannot adore me
but sometimes it feels so

those days when i was too afraid to fall asleep
cause everyone who slumbers
also wakes

at sunrise you'd find me sitting smoking cigarettes
with the devil on my concrete steps
while it rained

he poured secrets and shame into my coffee
daily morning haunting
cause now i'm evil too
i know that blue does not have arms to hold me
blue cannot adore me
but for tonight will do

redwoods, acres of volcanic rock
moss that won't stop whispering
my name

stranger won't you come and drive along the sea
name for me these costal trees
all day

I've got dreampop and roadmaps in the glovebox
the rest is lost or locked up
it's all I've got to give
you can kiss me, but don't ask where the heart is
i don't know what it looks like
i don't know where it's hid

or whether it's a soul or it's an organ
they tell me it's important
that mine do not grow cold
and though the blue does not have arms to hold me
when lovers fade to memory
they're just as hard to hold
