Our friends on the front porch,
swing swiftly towards happier times
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort
and getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows
long enough to see the monsters rise
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream
living high on yesterday's lies
Talking to me about some 0% interest and
how she got a better deal than the next guy
And the way the lightning shocked us
when we were lost and we were looking
Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer
then and now I can remember
Say now I remember oh so well
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats
they're burning like wet matches
through my miracle mile mind
You left your thumbprint inside me now
for months it seems but mine
only brushes your soft surface
And somehow
Somehow it leaves me listless
my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes
So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you
And the way, oh the truth it locked us
Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us
When we were young, when we were young and missing
Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember
Say now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
