​ryan micah - Storrow drive

{Verse}
Watchin’ you load the shotgun
Stuff down the column
Countin’ your steady paces
Line sights with that horizon

An 8.5 month phase
I was livin’ just south of Boston
Gettin’ up the latest
Hopin’ you’d leave the light on

{Chorus}
Watching you load the shotgun
We fall apart and
Stopped dead at 22
The hell I’m supposed to do?
Somehow we always end up fallin’

{Verse}
Watch as you end up crawling
Hold fire until we’re near
Iris gives way to white
Peer through the sights and see it clear
Wide eyes like 17
We were autumn lovers then
Too caught up in the phase to see the maze that we were in
A dream of brighter days
To grasp but never keep
A dream to coexist
Before the distance made us week
New York to Storrow Drive
New York to IAD
So caught up in the thought of being lost with you at sea

{Chorus}
As organs start to bleed (Watchin’ you load the shotgun, wide eyes stuff down the column)
Start to bleed (You’re takin’ your steady paces, line sights)
Drift down like falling leaves (An 8.5 month phase)
Weighed down by gravity (You were livin’ just south of me)
How long will I believe? (Gettin’ up the latest, walkin’ aimless, watchin’)

And time goes running free (Watchin’ you load the shotgun, wide eyes stuff down the column)
With no apology (You’re takin’ your steady paces, line sights)
How long till i perceive (An 8.5 month phase)
The forest for the trees? (She was livin’ just south of me)
How long will I believe? (Gettin’ up the latest, walkin’ aimless, watchin’)

{Outro}
As words grew dry as cotton
As nerves grew hard as steel
As weeks of breathing life in what had died lost the appeal
Grew faint with passin’ time
We laid it all to rest
Each day you’d close your eyes and be surprised a little less
