lyrics

Fly to Vancouver
Take a walk around Stanley Park
Talk about everything
But the things we do in the dark

Try to maneuver
Between debate and argument
Take another swing at my chosen words
And my line of descent

You stop short
You always was the restless sort
Damn these planes, damn these airports
Remember to breathe again

Left turn on Haro
Staggered by the verdant greenery
Painted houses for sparrows
Instead of urban machinery

Eighteen flights of stairs
Eleven point five years apart
Cloaks & daggers
Drag across my skin like a needle
And I head your way
But you already got a head start

And I fall short
I always was the reckless sort
Damn these planes, damn these airports
Making you leave again

What if this plane goes down?
Ride the wings, then go underground
Build caverns & tunnels
With your pitchforks and shovels
Or go build your burial mound
I am going down with it
I am going down with you
I am going down, whether you like it or not
And I'm positive we'll pull through

Make a long story short
We are the relentless sort
Damn these planes, damn these airports
Get naive again
