lyrics

Yes, I've packed the bags under my eyes full of late nights
Don't you know I'm always "going" never "gone"?
I've tucked you in my tear ducts for safe keeping or something
Dancing on the knife blade, who's keeping who safe
This is trust, love, never-get-enough then gone again
Don't take it personal, sometimes these words are as good as miles
I've got an artillery of doubt
Let me love please, this time mind-heart, this time "real"
real love, real love
jet lag, thumb tacked map
Let me love like a bus I know will take me where I need to go
Let me trust in you like the land I love, like Earth, twirling, trying to see it all-ways coming back to you
Yes, I've packed the bags under my eyes full of late nights
Got "going" on an IV drip drip dripping and "coming" on the palm of your hand
Got this back and forth dance down to a science, but I'm looking for art
For now, good thing you like science and good thing you like me
For tomorrow, let me love please, this time mind-heart, this time "real"
real love, real love
jet lag, thumb tacked
real love, real love,
jet lag, unpacked bags
