Lyrics
About the stuff I said, albeit several years ago It was thoughtless and it’s cruel, because honesty’s the policy That screws me over every single time And now he’s arrived, oh with tricks to paint the sky A bright and pretty color like lilac or brown. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along at this unbroken speed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home Palo Alto and the city of the angels both turn a rust colored brown From the mist-covered mountains of home, to the desolation Of a city’s lights, oh how pretty at winter time When it’s all covered up with the whitest of the sheets. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along on this unbroken steed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home Oh Juliet, albeit several years ago The possibility of a day spent without you Was very real to me, as I suffered all too many, but We were so damn innocent, oh, easily fooled By bright and pretty colors like lilac or brown. Sun pass the time, river pass the light, Sun pass the night, and so on it goes So here you are again, standing here in front of me It seems all your pretty colors have faded into grated words That pierce my heart through every single time But it’s a wicked world, oh, so make sure you take care Because a friend is the saddest thing to lose. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along on this unbroken steed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home
