Lyrics:
We drank and I convinced you that the wildfire smog was the Northern Lights
Lately I’ve been looking at you harder, just taking you in
At the callous on your fingers from the handbrake grips on your junkyard bike
And your boots so filled with water
I mean, soaking wet
But you could punch me in the gut
And it wouldn’t hurt like watching
You go smaller on the backroad
And I never ask for much
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
Oh I, can’t keep on starting over
Sleeping in a bed half empty
Daydreamin’
All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still
Are you good at stayin’ still
Oh well will you up and leave
Or will you be there in the morning
I always hated the sunlight at 3 pm
Where it’s too soon to quit thinking
But too late to change anything
I’m racking my brain for the one line
That would change your mind
Showing you plane crashes online
It couldn’t hurt to try
But the Charles meets the sun
And the Harvard track team runs, past my truck, stuck on Storrow
And I never ask for much
But I hope that Logan crumbles, and gets hit by a tornado
‘Cause I can’t keep on starting over
Sleeping in a bed half empty
Daydreamin’
All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still
Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still
Are you good at stayin’ still
Put in love, put in hours, put in ceremony
As it was, how you were, what was there before me
Nevermind, nevermind, oh forget about it
I’ll be good, I’ll be fine, I can laugh about it
I try, to keep, on starting over
Sleeping in a bed half empty
Daydreamin’
All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still
Are you good at stayin’ still
Are you good at stayin’ still
Oh well will you up and leave
Or will you be there in the morning

This album has been breaking me and playing nonstop since it released, but oh the irony of my “staying still” while at a stoplight and someone rear ending me while I was already crying listening to this masterpiece. Not sure if i should laugh or cry harder 😅
Great song
😭😭😭😭😭
Why isn’t this on the album!? I have the cd in my car right now and this isn’t on it. Wtf!?
My anthem to my future partner i probably won’t ever have 😶
