from Without a Throne, track released September 30, 2022
The music’s turned up, the windows are down
Things seem exactly the same as they sound
Reliable notions are helping us see
Losin’ is what it’s expected to be

Search through the bag of these memories
Prayin’ someday I’ll be right
‘Cause life won’t be special for a couple of years
‘Til you look back and realize, the shape it appears

Down by the river, turn left past the light
Holdin’ each other on this happiest night
I want you, I’ll miss you, I’m happy you’re here
The tone and intention, it’s totally clear

Search through the bag of these memories
Prayin’ someday I’ll be right
‘Cause life won’t be special for a couple of years
‘Til you look back and realize, the shape it appears

Sometimes I know I ramble too much, so let’s keep this part short and sweet
Sometimes things ain’t so special to me
When I’m all locked up after swallowing the key

Search through the bag of these memories
Prayin’ someday I’ll be right
‘Cause life won’t be special for a couple of years
‘Til you look back and realize, the shape it appears
