Rome

Running through the fields, the sun is breaking
Dinner in boxes on the table
To all the doomsayers
We got fuel for days
Taking in the air, we’re on that fire
Glow in the water, we’re never tired
I regenerate
We got fuel for days
Are you new?
Don’t think I’ve met you, I wouldn’t forget you
Are you good?
This here a warning, we’re coming for ya
This is the new world
Flooding at the plaza, feel like swimming?
Everybody going off the deep end
Bare feet in the mall, running
Yelling out “cannonball”
Headset, power on, meter turning
They’re saying on the feed that Rome is burning
To all the doomsayers
We got thoughts and prayers
Ready for the fun, you true believer
Marching with 102 fever
Don’t you ever change
You got fuel...

Your words are like bricks and mortar
You’re stacking them between us high
Remember we’d smile at each other
And now we can’t see eye to eye
Are the forces so beyond our control?
There with matches standing on the bank of the river
Please don’t burn the bridges
What if we need to get to each other?
How are we going to reach?
You look at me like I’m too far gone
I look at you like your heart is stone
Pray to the heavens that we’re both wrong
So we never end up alone

Set Me Right

Leave it all behind, ahead for a better life
As if a better life would just appear
Nothing in my hands, I can’t carry life
But I got everything I need
Cause you set me right, baby
Set me right, baby
Never would have chosen the road we walked
One thing I know we got is here
Well runs dry again, we’ll run and find it then
Together, another wind
I can feel it all begin
Cause you set me right baby
Where I belong
Hold me down and set me right
Maybe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for us
Blind leading the blind, we trust
But I’m not in a rush
Cause I’ve got everything I want and more
All I want and more
Everything I want and more
And more and more and more and more and more

Moon

We hung the moon
Way out there in our space outfits
And back too soon
There’s nothing more to say about it
I can’t go out there with you anymore
Started to descend
What happened to gravity?
You’re lifting off again
Now this is how it has to be
I can’t go out there with you anymore
I’m gonna keep movin
I’m gonna keep movin on and I
I hope you’re doin fine
Wherever you are
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you well
Every mission has a start and end
Best I can tell
We’re not gonna see that moon again
I can’t go out there with you anymore
I can’t stay back here with you anyway
I’m gonna keep movin
I’m gonna keep movin on and I
I hope you’re doin fine
Wherever you are
Wherever you are

Running Enough

You're out on the porch, I bet it’s nice there
I’m stuck on the couch being grumpy
Cause I already know that I
Won’t wanna get up with the sun in the morning
Hey, we got it good
But, my God, it’s a whole thing, ain’t it?
I see you, I see you
You been running enough for us both
I feel you when you say
You can’t hold anymore
And I won’t promise tomorrow will be better than today was
But I can promise us
We’re out in the wild
Nobody told us
We’d never grow up on the inside
We just hold a lot of heavy things that make us wanna hide
Hey, we got it good
But, my God, it’s a whole ride, aint it?
You feel like you’ll never be enough
But you’ve never seen me when I haven’t been in love
Look in my eyes, you’ll know it
Look here now
I feel like I’ll never be enough
But I’ve never seen you when you haven’t been in love
Look in your eyes, I’ll know it
Look there now
