lyrics

I saw the fire at a distance 
Thin little line on the horizon
On a path of least resistance 
Headed our way how unsurprising

Silhouette of a cat in the dark against the blinds 
Shadow on a far wall slips from ledge to edge
It’s too hot to sleep and I’m sore from the hike
I knew you would drag me uphill both ways

I’d priced it into transit into the transaction
You don’t feel sad you feel focused and unafraid
It’s how you take your mind off a world unmade 
Your frequent flyer feelings never fit your pockets

The county never sent word on refinery smoke
Maybe they were crowning a cheap unleaded pope

I saw the fire at a distance 
Thin little line on the horizon
On a path of least resistance 
Headed our way how unsurprising

I don’t want you to hold what we know 
must burn against yourself against me now
I’ll do my best to be direct as it’s what no one 
expects and to endure someway somehow 

I never wanted what was endless more or less
Only what would last as present became the past 
I only ever wanted a new feeling unlike all the rest
Only what will always last even if it goes by too fast
