When Earth Became Sky

With eyes locked out on the horizon

Your hand in mine, we waited for the flash

What’s happening to our modern-west romance?

A simple, celluloid tragedy on-edge

Of everything that we’ve ever hope for

And everything we were ever promised

I feel the future bearing down on me

One I don’t want, one I don’t need

So I run anywhere, I run nowhere

With eyes locked out on the horizon

Your hand in mine, we waited for the flash

“We’re not going to make it, are we?” you asked

But you knew that we’d blow apart like leaves

I cant grasp this moment

Your blue dress, the ocean

The overwhelming sense of urgency

That this will be the last chance

To tell you that I wanted more

Than what Sumerians had planned for

A future, a life with you

With eyes locked out on the horizon

Your hand in mine, we waited for the flash

“We’re not going to make it, are we?” you asked

But you knew that we’d blow apart like leaves
