lyrics

You said we’d always be in touch
The air can’t stop our spirits
And the ground can’t hold our limits

But I’m not sure about our luck
Reflections of our ghosts
Screening the past like it’s a show

Oh is that what we saw
Standing in our own backyard
Pulled up the collars on our coats
Is this really what we call home?

Mighty high up on this plane
Rippled clouds haze my view
Wishing the ground gave better clues

Count the hours on the train
Fighting windmills while I stare
The chasm’s feeling pretty bare

Oh, is that what we saw
Standing in our own backyard
Pulled up the collars on our coats
Is this really what we call home?

One v. one
Two by two
Manhunt by the creek
Diamonds made of dirt
Collect the sticks
Piled up the sand
We’ve all smiled at more than
Money in hand

Oh, is that what we saw
Standing in our own backyard
Pulled up the collars on our coats
Is this really what we call home?
