Deacon Brody - Across the Powerlines Lyrics

In the middle of the night
You tell me that you want to come
In the middle of the night
You tell me that you want to come
Do you understand, we have our lives in the morning
Do you understand
Because I don't

Another broken dream
You say you need your mama
Another broken dream
So you call out for your friends
You open up your mouth
But the words just get caught along your dry throat
You open up your mouth
And I scream

Well it's time to lay your head upon my pillow
And let the lights peak in from underneath my shade
Do you suppose the neighbors will wake up
I hear you humming in between the dim light
Which calmly rests around your shoulders
Are you here?

I remember the words you asked me not to forget
As you whispered them in my ear
You say you feel like a bird swinging across the power lines
Waiting for the wind to take you away
Then you grab my head and place it between your legs

Then comes the knock from our ceiling
So we cover our laughter in our hands

It's a wasted Wednesday morning
So we ignore the alarm
It's another wasted Wednesday morning
So we ignore the alarm

I think we understand
We only have our lives at this moment
I think we understand
Us
