Lyrics
Wires and Waves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are twelve hours
There's a day between us
And you called to say you're sorry in your own way
There are oceans and waves and wires between us
And you called to say
You're getting older
And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier
How did you survive all those fires and floods?
How did you survive your insufferable friends?
It was the plow that broke the western plains
And its just my heart gets rejected by my veins
And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier
