Jumpers

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.

I spend the afternoon in cars

I sit in traffic jams for hours

Don't push me, I am not OK

The sky is blue most every day

The lemons grow like tumors, they

Are tiny suns infused with sour

Lonely as a cloud

In the Golden State

The coldest winter that I ever saw

Was the summer that I spent

The only substance is the fog

And it hides all that has gone wrong

Can't see a thing inside the maze

There is a bridge adored and famed

The Golden spine of engineering

Whose back is heavy with my weight

Lonely as a cloud

In the Golden State

The coldest winter that I ever saw

Was the summer that I spent

Be still this old heart

Be still this old skin

Drink your last drink

Sin your last sin

Sing your last song

About the beginning

Sing it out loud

So the people can hear, let's go

Be still this sad day

Be still this sad year

Hope your last hope

Fear your last fear

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

You're not the only one, let's go

My falling shape will draw a line

Between the blue of sea and sky

I'm not a bird, I'm not a plane

I took a taxi to the Gate

I will not go to school again

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest
