Know Your Velocity
Well the sun went down
but we'd catch it fast
Over an ocean heading east
Your trusty old suitcase and my guild guitar
Were finally resting
somewhere under the seats
And I wanted to tell you the truth
Something I honestly never do
As your fingers tapped
rhythms on my collarbone
Always steadily on the move
At least that's how I remember it
Though I'm not sure that's how it went down
And I'm chewing bits of the growing distance
Between two towns
My train of thought had reached somewhere steep
But you just smiled and went to sleep
You were always one step ahead of me
Even immersed in your deepest dreams
At least that's how I'll remember you
Though I'm not sure that's who you are
And I'm digging in to the growing distance
That fills the gaps and
must surely haunt the stars
They're always further apart just tiny little sparks
Until we're dust somewhere in the dark
I hope this is how you'll remember me
Laced in infinity
'Cause I'm digging in to
the growing distance and
The slight possibility the pulse might just be weak
Soon we're a dot between the beams
So it's only up to me to know my velocity
