lyrics

FUTURE IMPERFECT

I’ve been hoping everything will settle
But I don’t know the white-hot from the dawn
You’ve been taking both my hands in your hands
Crushing all my bones until they swarm

One day later I’m all birds and tightropes
You’re an owl inside a sign of storms

You’ve been straying out of sight in streetlights
(In tomorrow into)
With gravity’s reflection in your arms
(The blue of innuendo)
I can’t see it clearly when I’m looking
(Both my hands in your hands)
But when I’m not the fire’s much too warm
(Under the streetlights swarming)

Three weeks later you’re all coats and mittens
I’m the winning touchdown no one scored
We’re not sure the winter isn’t near us
When the jackpot hits us, hits the floor

We won’t ever see the future
In advance of present’s pasture
In undoing every second done

We won’t ever be a future
In the damage we remember
Engineering presence on the run
