Mortals

(album: Flight Risk - 2021)

You laugh beside me
You needed this coffee
Your legs are too long
For my passenger seat
And your brother's a dropout
You've thought about
Giving up on science
In pursuit of higher thinking

And my heart gets ahead of me always, always
You're talking in verses to me always, always
You'll never live up to myths that I made of you

My bones and veins
Had to learn to be brave
You would lie with Goliath
To have it both ways
And all of my friends thought
That you'd stick around
You sounded so great

But you're just a boy with a biblical name
And my heart gets ahead of me always, always
I'd give you the benefit always, always
You'll never live up to myths that I made of you

Nothing's forever
I've got to live with that too
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
