lyrics

Run little race track out of your mind
One step forward two steps back inside
I heard your name in the grocery line
Untethered I became and waved goodbye

To my body as I sank into a dream
On Bayhead Beach
Where you're Frank and I'm Lyle
Or you're Sid and I smile
Cause either way I'll be glad to know you

On the horizon the dark outline
Of ships adrift in slumber and brine
There's an infant crying in the ocean tide
There's a leviathan in the bathtub waiting to die

And you're not what you seem
Then again I don't claim to be
So kiss me you said I'm empty
I'm a pulse I'm a bloodstream
Won't you give me a name
I'd leave my whole life today to hold you

Far away at the edge of the world
There's an old sun setting on an unfamiliar wild
Where the birds sing blue and the wind blows red
And the stars hang like tangerines over the houses

And everyday I miss your skin
Like the house I was raised in
Where you're Frank and I'm Lyle
Or you're Sid and I smile
Cause either way I'll be glad to know you
