Annie, I’m a Hawk

If the past’s a foreign country
We’re still citizens you know
And when I reach across the border now it’s home
And what’s familiar ain’t familiar anymore

If the road was an illusion
Why were we sitting in the car
Swore I'd been counting mile markers from the start
It turns out distance doesn’t get you very far

Is someone keeping you in mind?
Holding you hostage every night?
Is someone keeping you in mind?
Is that what’s keeping you tired all the time?
What a great divide

It really looked like I outgrew you
Must be my vision isn’t quite right
Wе didn’t speak in 2017
And since then oncе or twice
Still seem to hurt each other’s feelings from time to time

At least that’s true for you and mine
I feel like a hostage every night
Is that you keeping me in mind?
Guess that’s what’s keeping me tired all the time
What a great divide

Can you remember being tethered?
Yeah me neither, what a crime
So if our different iterations coincide
I hope catharsis takes its time
