If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture, so I'm told little sister So now I'm sold little sister Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden And how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy Well that's another whole box of pandora's, that's another whole box of them ties Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median Right back into the median, the median lo-oh It separates, our house from the middle of the street... It separates our house from the middle of the street Talking about our house Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch Spotlight But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die. We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long. Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough? Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on. If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont. And that's just the way that it goes.
