lyrics

Last night I dreamt of angels
Honking horns on Interstate 65
Then I turned on the TV
To figure out if I was really even alive
The sirens scream, the ocean sings
The wind stalls, the dogs all bark
The earth is spinning in
Fits and starts

If you want to see the future
Stand up on your tippy toes
Hang on as tight as you can
Hum the words to god only knows
What if god is lying, what if god is hiding?
What if god is just as lost as you and me in the dark?
Welcome to the sanctuary
Of fits and starts

All this time we’ve been hallucinating
All this time we’ve been waiting to be someone
All this time the sky’s been falling down
I don’t believe in beginnings
All the endings got too many question marks
I belong in the middle
I was meant to move
In fits and starts

Tomorrow’s at the doorstep
Rising like a tidal wave
Here’s your 12-minute warning
Pack everything that you want to save
What if time is wrong?
What if time is nothing more than a knife that cuts us apart?
We can put it all back together
In fits and starts
