lyrics

All these switches switching on and off and on
And I look into your eyes and I realize you're gone
We went walking by the railroad tracks again
You wanna tell me everything, don't know where to begin
The sky is black as night, which makes sense 'cause it's night
And you try to smile but it's like watching ghosts fade out of sight
This tiny sliver moon looks like an evil grin
As we lay on the railroad tracks and we confess our sins

Your insides are tangled up, but you're shining so bright
It's like you're filled up with someone's old Christmas lights

Calling all Spidermen, 'cause we're stuck up a tree
And you say that you're not happy, not sure that you'll ever be
But I'm a document and I keep track for you
I crack my spine and open up and we start pouring through
All these old back issues of Boys Life Magazine
Most of them I memorized, a few I've never seen
They're precariously stacked in the back of your car
And you ask to pull over so we can look at the stars


Your insides are tangled up, but you're shining so bright
It's like you're filled up with someone's old Christmas lights
You're shining bright
