Redemption

My body laughs but i get this feeling
That i'm not quite awake, not dreaming
Like sun on your ceiling
Like headlights, i'm weaving
Meaning found in the lack
Your bare back under light from a laptop
I want to talk but i don't want to wake you
I don't know where i'm going
But i know i want to take you

(laugh)

I wrote that thinking i'd have a chance to
Patch up your past, but goddamn, it pulled at you
No sunlight, no steering
No spotlight, just leaving
Meaning lost in the lack
Turned back from a flight i took to give my head a rest
To push my stomach down and out of my chest
To forget about christmas and unemployment stress

Now you'll find me on the yellowhead
Headed west
Out to the ocean to see what's left
Of the riptides i've been sucking on
Saltwater and a joke for you to sing along to

I'm a piece of grass that you're sucking on
The sweetness gone but you're sucking on
I'm a bloody lip that god's been sucking on
Who writes songs like redemption coupons
Two palms like a sentence run on
Two lungs with the headwinds withdrawn
Two eyes like the empty yukon
Who loved you like colliding hadrons do

Our hands together like urban infill
You can stay here if you like kissing windmills
It's like an open question
You were every word at once
Like your name was redemption

I'm a piece of grass that you're sucking on
The sweetness gone but you're sucking on
I'm a bloody lip that god's been sucking on
Who writes songs like redemption coupons
Two palms like a sentence run on
Two lungs with the headwinds withdrawn
Two eyes like the empty yukon
Who loved you like colliding hadrons do

Our hands together like urban infill
You can stay here if you like kissing windmills
It's like an open question
You're every word at once and your name is redemption
