Lyrics
New Detroit
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 was thinking about the last time that I saw you
Fighting jet lag in your time zone
You could tell that I was struggling with the ATM
When you said that you could cover me
We made small talk along the way
We were talking about the bullet train, or so I thought
Making your eyes play tricks like camouflage
You couldn’t find yourself
But I don’t wanna spend my time just wishing that you would push me in
When you know I can’t swim
I was thinking about a past life when you failed me
I forget all of the worst parts when you’re around me
I was covering my eyes again
From the selective honesty
And you taught me how to fall asleep
Without all this misplaced guilt hanging over me
