i saw you pass like a train right beside mine so close i couldn't tell who was moving, you or I i finally got your letter, right as I woke up right as I tore open the envelope I've been living lately on airplane naps In little dreams you wish wouldn't end i've been learning how to miss you better learning how to miss my friends hoping my good luck will come back and bring the wrath enough to keep the train rolling enough to get me back to you one day you and I will hopefully figure out the math till then don't worry keep going don't worry keep going it's such a big old sky, draped across my eyes thought maybe I'd paint you in the stained glass of my mind when i wake up, come find me again sometime i'll put you up on the marquee of my mind paint you in the stained glass of my mind

Smoke a Marlboro 100 for old times sake, the kind your mom knew I stole from here but she never said a thing let's act like kids and watch the clouds roll from the back porch, all at once feel the universe in unison stumbling forth Stoned as the day is long, hold onto this place anyway i can until its gone Here we will be safe Safe for old times sake Meet you at the top beneath the Rose Hills sign, We’ll smoke and stand among the bodies, search the smog for a skyline try not to walk over strangers, look for our family, maybe run into our friends, maybe find some celebrities stoned as the day is long in a graveyard, Hold on to these moments any way I can until they're gone Here we will be safe Safe for old time’s sake Smoke a Marlboro 100 till I’m sick to my stomach Just one for your mother to let her know that I love her

someday soon My ears will pop i will hear you loud and clear And all that noise will stop I'll let it all go If only for a second i’ll hear the truth in stereo Pray time is a boomerang Waste it all at once Hope it comes back Like all the money I was told that time was Let it all go nothing but time to throw away with you I got nothing but time, nothing but time till you come through Oh now don’t you fade away Like a wave in the rear view mirror Small and getting smaller Turning a corner then you disappear Running from love out in the empty frontier There in the static like a police scanner in the wind Like a ghost in a hallway In the way back when Over the mountainside Right around the bend I swear I heard you once before I’ll hear you again Oh now don’t you fade away Like a wave in the rear view mirror Small and getting smaller Turning a corner then you disappear Running from love out here in the empty frontier Don't wanna run away from love no more Don’t wanna be a runaway no more someday soon My ears will pop i will hear you loud and clear And all that noise will stop I will let it go

SEE YOU IN A DAYDREAM A dream built on a photograph Lost in the shuffle and cut in half visions in my eyelids of you and I, a couple drunken kids Somewhere by the park blocks Before the city closed em off See you in a daydream In all the notebooks that I lost Someday you lose the vaults Whether you like it or not All you can do is hope it’s not your fault see you in every random thought Anything that I collect See you in a daydream, See you in the disconnect See you in the archives You are big and bright and beautiful and all sorts of alive You are a relic, you’re a landline A dial tone ringing in the back of my mind See you in all the letters In every one i forgot to dot and cross See you in a daydream In all the notebooks that I lost

aircraft viewing area north At the albuquerque sunport with 100 photos of honeymoon bliss now I love you more than I'm comfortable with juan tabo hills west right ahead and us just sitting there, quiet as a prayer dunno when I'll see you again but when i do let's go everywhere with 100 photos of the same exact face A hundred photos of the same exact place A hundred photos of the honeymoon phase 100 photos I just can't erase Till then I’ll paint a little picture of the two of us Cuddled up on a filthy city bus Dunno when i’ll see you again Goddamn, I hope one day it all comes true with 100 photos of the same exact face A hundred photos of the same exact place A hundred photos of the honeymoon phase 100 photos I just can't erase aircraft viewing area north At the albuquerque sunport with 100 photos of honeymoon bliss now I love you more than I'm comfortable with
