The Lives We Lead

from Up Late, Dreaming by Nick Shattuck

/

lyrics

Pigeons drop from rooftops
The flock catches my eye
I wish that I could fly
I wish that I could fly, away
Where the fuck did the sun go
And who the hell invited the snow
Where the fuck did my love go, I know.
I know it weighs on your soul
And it weighs down your shoulders
We getting older, time growing shorter
You packed your patience, swallowed your angst and
You see those dreams damn they're close you can taste it.
Cloudy day in California
Coffee staining my tongue
I wish that I could run
I wish that I could run, home
I'm missing my Mississippi
I'm missing dying Maple leaves
I packed my bags and left for the city
Yea I went chasing my dreams, well I know.
I know it weighs on your soul
And it weighs down your shoulders
We getting older, time getting shorter
You packed your patience, swallowed your angst and
You see those dreams damn they're close you can taste it.
Cuz times like these, baby, damn they're hard
The lives we lead, darlin', I know, I know I know.
