| [00:15.269] |
Early to rise, early to bed |
| [00:18.341] |
That moment I arisen I shaved my head |
| [00:21.790] |
Doing so that morning began with a grin |
| [00:25.384] |
I left behind my old feebled skin |
| [00:30.805] |
It was middle of May, the seasons were bending |
| [00:34.733] |
I in with the seasons could predict no ending |
| [00:38.165] |
Lived in the moment, being as it were |
| [00:41.396] |
That moment surrendered and led me to her |
| [00:47.549] |
Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread |
| [00:50.903] |
I tucked her right over by a tilt in my head |
| [00:56.444] |
I followed her blind to an old record store |
| [01:00.181] |
While one of her friends found a way through the door |
| [01:05.973] |
In the dark we played records with everyone high |
| [01:09.704] |
I held her hands when the police drove by |
| [01:12.998] |
She asked me about home, if I missed it at all |
| [01:16.037] |
I thought mama, oh, mom I've been meaning to call |
| [01:34.932] |
The band went home, I stayed behind |
| [01:37.924] |
I took the Muskegon ferry from the Milwaukee line |
| [01:41.621] |
Arrived at her door to clutch all her heartstrings |
| [01:44.984] |
We're driving up North to forget everything |
| [01:50.923] |
I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes |
| [01:54.342] |
I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons |
| [01:57.829] |
Not crescent nor full, inside of the storm |
| [02:01.262] |
She'd dive and resurface each time changing form |
| [02:07.221] |
But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks |
| [02:10.947] |
Time out of water resumed on the clocks |
| [02:14.022] |
She slept while the second hand spun on the wall |
| [02:17.061] |
I thought mama, oh, mom I've been meaning to call |
| [02:35.070] |
I didn't want to lose her, I bought two tickets home |
| [02:38.350] |
We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone |
| [02:41.984] |
Standing there watching our feet off the plane |
| [02:45.327] |
Each step she took further, I was less the same |
| [02:51.127] |
I was running from whoever I was at the time |
| [02:54.429] |
I went running right into the middle of a crime |
| [02:57.894] |
I was calling in the quicksand just to get above the grime |
| [03:01.437] |
Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb |
| [03:05.053] |
And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime |
| [03:08.256] |
And just within a day you were well on your way |
| [03:14.245] |
And I went to the river where all sinners meet |
| [03:19.247] |
Watched the animals run from headlights in the street |
| [03:23.900] |
I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed |
| [03:27.530] |
You've gotta be above someone to watch 'em fall |
| [03:31.284] |
Emily, I've been meaning |
| [03:34.532] |
Emily, I've been meaning |
| [03:37.546] |
Emily, I've been meaning to call |
