Ticker Tape - Westport Lyrics

The night we crashed a wedding out in Westport
We were living lighter we were walking on water
I saw a side of you that I've never seen- I wish you could've caught her
If only that moment lingered longer

I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high
I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high

We grind down our teeth over expectations of future selves
Pressure builds from those who occupy our shelves
No one can guarantee their tomorrow so you might as well bask in the afterglow
Those versions of ourselves still await us

I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high
I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high

We laid in the park to end the season
The stars told us stories and we lost track of time- yeah, we lost track of time
Our molecules became untethered
Our ceiling was the sky
There's more to our lungs than merely breathing
More to our limbs than reaching- it's ladders that they climb
There's more to our hearts than simply beating, they transformed into compasses
Our ceiling was the sky
We hiked through the woods hunting completion
Debated over lefts we've taken- but sometimes left is right
We turned over stones in search of meaning
Found our way at elevation
Our ceiling was the sky
Some moments will become memories and dreams so vivid we relive them
I always press rewind to ripping safety nets that we were weaved in
We took a chance on a feeling
Our ceiling was the sky

I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high
I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high
