The air is dead
We're all back to being sad about it
I'd forgotten the smell
But I knew it then and I know it now
Hot tub water
Rubbing my hands together
And we're gonna be sad
Then we're gonna be happy again after
♪
When the sun hits
You remember how orange everything gets
When your teeth grit
You're reminded that you know everything ends
On a night walk
Like the one that I took late last fall
And I thought here I'd feel it
But I don't at all
♪
Like a bike ride
Past the lilacs in the May twilight
When the world was ending
Different ways and years, but still the same time
And your favorite album's playing
From a different time, it's waving
And I'm reaching back and taking
Whatever I can for saving
♪
It's a ruin of what I once felt
It's a flash card for something else
It's a wheel on your dad's first car
It's a repeat when you're pulling a card
It's a tunnel filled in again
It's a puddle showing your reflection
It's a dream, and you can wake up at night
It's a photo of when you were nine
It's your breath showing like a vision
It's the water evaporating in sun
It's the cycle of baby rabbits
They don't learn from their own habits
