lyrics

We dress the babies in the palest whites
we keep the glare out of their newborn eyes
with drapes we hang just to block the sun from the room
I still remember we were walking back
the trees, the airplanes and the tire tracks
and all these things that linger in a past I have known
I spent it dreaming of another time
another ripple to an endless line
or those who said that we don't want to know
but now it's all we really want to know

What's it like to forget the names
to change where we've been
when it's not in my life anymore
it's not in my sights anymore
I can't call this mine anymore

Well now I know how riches feel
now I know what this attention means
now I know what it's like to be
just a watching eye under watchful eyes
My skin is thinner but it still feels thick
I'll be ready when the sickness hits
we're only healthy until we're not and then we just wait it out
and we wait it out

So I'll wait it out
but the time won't come
like I thought it would
And I can't just say
that I can let it go
when I know I won't
I'll just stay right here
because I just can't leave
like I know I should
Give me tired eyes
give me weaker limbs
make me work for them
Even if it takes me ten more years
I'll never starve for what I seek
I'll just wait it out, and I'll wait it out, and I'll wait it out....

Until it's not in my life anymore
until it's not in my sights anymore
until I can't call this mine anymore
