lyrics

song for the eyes
where have you been?
did I miss you walking in?
this was a brand new car
when we last spoke
this was a smoky bar
when we used to smoke

song for the eyes
where did I go?
I've been lost here too, you know
where I was born, that's not who I am

so why did I ever have a plan?
when to meet the demand is
as permanent as a name
written in the sandbar?
are you going any farther than here?
see, you'll never know this
but this is the closest I've felt to fear

song for the eyes
where are we now?
counting crows along the fence?

the coming storm cooled by the wind
the perfect form is so the accident

we were dancing in the rain
on a street without a name
when you remembered the lake
where you were born
and you were torn between
the places you'd been
and there

so why did I ever have a plan?
when to meet the demand is
as permanent as a name
written in the sandbar?
are you going any farther alone?
see, you'll never know this
but this is the farthest I've been from home
