lyrics

white vans on the curbside
where we'd go walking
don't want to see inside
the magic therein
belongs only to eyes
in garages elite
and they don't want you talking

black moons seeing
all sides to every problem
they hope to gain insight
but authority does
what authority must
humor may disagree
well then, that's just your--

tiny fingers making origami
with our perception
you used to hate it
'til they welcomed us
could I forget
the fourth floor

their glances caught
watching our backs
we wear the air
like a second skin
if the porch light's on
there's a chance they'll let us
come back in while we're
holding hands inside our heads
until I hear the last sound
left in the alley, rocket fallen
to the pavement down, down

breathing you in
pulls me back from free candy
through everything you stay
the warmth of your touch
and the home that you are
I will never forget
fight to keep them close

tiny fingers making origami
with our perception
you used to hate it
'til they welcomed us
but still I hear
that sliding door

their glances caught
watching our backs
we wear the air
like a second skin
leave the porch light on
we'll sit out back
they'll just see us
seeing them
holding hands inside our heads
until I hear the last sound
left in the alley, rocket fallen
to the pavement down, down

a secret carried on the breeze
I didn't think to say goodbye
