Tabbed by: Diêgo Palmeira Intro: Our friends on the front porch   well they’re telling jokes and they   swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort   and getting distance from that front porch spotlight But us we found peace in shadows   long enough to see the monsters rise Candy’s got some space to fill in her daydream   living high on yesterday’s lies Talking to me about some 0% interest and   how she got a better deal than the next guy And the way the lightning shocked us   when we were lost and we were looking Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer   then and now I can remember Say now I remember oh so well Oh the roads unencumbered by cats   they’re burning like wet matches   through my miracle mile mind You left your thumbprint inside me now   for months it seems but mine   only brushes your soft surface And somehow Somehow it leaves me listless   my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes So I can’t speak to tell you of the months before I met you And the way oh the truth it locked us Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us When we were young when we were young and missing Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember Say now well I remember oh so well almost too well  Verse: Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time Unchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end... If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture so I’m told little sister So now I’m sold little sister Why don’t you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden And how you were the rock of Gibraltar and how they called you foxy Well that’s another whole box of pandora’s that’s another whole box of them ties Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median Right back into the median the median lo-oh It separates our house from the middle of the street... It separates our house from the middle of the street Talking about our house Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch Spotlight But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die. We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long. Long enough just as long just so long as its long enough is it long enough? Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on. If it isn’t... if it isn’t .. if it ain’t if it don’t if it can’t then it wont. And that’s just the way that it goes.
