I've never known a better feeling
Than the grocery store fever
It hit my veins like lightning
There you were
In all your collegiate glory
Oh but your face was still so comely
I've missed you all the while
The summer faded
There is a God and I've seen Him on your face
In a terribly too familiar place
Saturday
Friday
October
I've never seen a place drearier
Than the one outside of my flesh
Than the one so far from my heart
Roll on October sky
Fill our lungs with oxygen
Let us breathe, oh let us breathe
There's so much more we have to see
Have to feel to remind us that we're real
September's scuffing your veneer dull
Oh October please fight back
Our arteries can only make it so far
So far then they snap into a million pieces
That lay flat on this earth
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
All the bells and whistles are fine tuned
This flying machine is set to go
To take us to a place where the veins on our necks
Match the leaves' in the trees
Oh, Oh, Oh October
It's not over yet
Than the one outside of my flesh
Than the one so far from my heart
Roll on October sky
Fill our lungs with oxygen
Let us breathe, oh let us breathe
There's so much more we have to see
Have to feel to remind us that we're real
September's scuffing your veneer dull
Oh October please fight back
Our arteries can only make it so far
So far then they snap into a million pieces
That lay flat on this earth
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
All the bells and whistles are fine tuned
This flying machine is set to go
To take us to a place where the veins on our necks
Match the leaves' in the trees
Oh, Oh, Oh October
It's not over yet
Thursday
Thirsting After Quick Fixes and Strange Mixes
Best skin forward
and your mothers' charm
Makes up for my grace
That always shows up late
Because my veins are busy fighting
The politicians who make the statistics
God knows I want to marry you
And keeps his lips zipped tight
While I stammer wishful prayers all night
My eyes have grown weary
And my joints have conformed
To the workings of tyrants and kings
Who will fight for the lips of their soul
Oh how far will my heart reach
Across the internet expanse
More than ever I wish to feel you
Because I can't remember the last time I did
If you've got a mix
Won't you give me a fix
My effort's hardly elastic
When it's stretched like plastic
But I got some oxygen
That's been dying to breathe
and your mothers' charm
Makes up for my grace
That always shows up late
Because my veins are busy fighting
The politicians who make the statistics
God knows I want to marry you
And keeps his lips zipped tight
While I stammer wishful prayers all night
My eyes have grown weary
And my joints have conformed
To the workings of tyrants and kings
Who will fight for the lips of their soul
Oh how far will my heart reach
Across the internet expanse
More than ever I wish to feel you
Because I can't remember the last time I did
If you've got a mix
Won't you give me a fix
My effort's hardly elastic
When it's stretched like plastic
But I got some oxygen
That's been dying to breathe
Highway Luminescence
I've never seen the city more alive
Than tonight
Energy as real as the raindrops on my dashboard
Aluminum on the highways' so much more important
When foot and pedal collide
I've never seen the city more alive
More alive, more alive
God made my eyes and my bones
And they feast on the thrones
Of energy I'm nestled in tonight
Jesus Christ don't you stop it
Burn this city all night
I've never seen it so bright
Than tonight
Energy as real as the raindrops on my dashboard
Aluminum on the highways' so much more important
When foot and pedal collide
I've never seen the city more alive
More alive, more alive
God made my eyes and my bones
And they feast on the thrones
Of energy I'm nestled in tonight
Jesus Christ don't you stop it
Burn this city all night
I've never seen it so bright
