lyrics

I'm learning how to hunt for you
I'm learning how to write about the things I've learned since '92

In the basement, in the car
On the plane, 10 hours late, so convinced that you'd found God

The chips are down and Jesus knows
You're wearing other people's clothes

The getting older, the giving in
The lists you wrote on younger hands

You asked "can I go back to bed?"
I asked "is it time to go home yet?"

Let’s hope we rust, let’s hope we sleep

First day forever
You're always new
You're stale-mouthed, you're steel-eyed, it's what you do

New friends and old
Knievel games
To lift you up, to cut you down, it's all the same

The chips are down and Jesus knows

You're wearing other people's clothes

Getting older, giving in

The lists you wrote on younger hands

Forgive me if my arms get weak
Let’s hope we rust, let’s hope we sleep
Let’s hope we rust, let’s hope we sleep
