Columbus

(album: Dialects - 2014)

Late last night, I lost track of time
And I know I was waiting for the sun to rise
These summer days, they keep stretching on
As our friend's in and out of town and tide
We spent all night hoping for nice things
We should have known
We don't need nice things
What's that, don't know your way back home?
You want to know why?

All this time when you read my mind, you read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find, I hid between the lines

We could dress for anywhere else
It's been a long, long time since your kingdom fell
But I can hear something over these engines
It sounds like ghosts in the back seat of your car
It sounds like our mysteries in skin, just to steal away again

All this time when you read my mind, you read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find, I hid between the lines
All this time when you read my mind, you read my mind
Those countries where we could have been, I left them all behind

Why would you bother the herd you're among?
When all that you needed was here all along?

All this time when you read my mind, you read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find, I hid between the lines
All this time when you read my mind, you read my mind
All those countries where we could have been, we left them all behind
