ley lines

[Verse 1:]

You said "promise me you'll find someone new

To hold and touch you."

I don't want anyone but you

You're giving me an impossible baseline

I know it's gonna take time

Put some new depth in my face lines

[Chorus:]

But I can't be held on facetime

I hate zoom and I hate to waste time

But waiting for you to call is like watching paint dry

You're busy in day times

The shortest way between us was never a straight line

I thought we could stay high

Crossing the state lines

I thought it was God talking

I was seeing fake signs

You were seeing ley lines

It's crazy the kind of corroboration the brain finds

When you want to believe

I wanted to believe

[Verse 2:]

Without you all these trinkets and costumes

I've been saving and keeping

No longer carry any meaning

You can't wait to tell me your neice and your nephew's

New words and phrases

How you're playing "Guess Who" with with airport faces

[Chorus:]

Well I guess I had to be there

And I guess our lives can't be shared

Like they were

And life won't be fair

And I realize

The shortest way between us was never a straight line

Thought we could stay high crossing the state lines

I thought it was God talking, I was seeing fake signs

You were seeing ley lines

It's crazy the kind of corroboration the brain finds

When you want to believe

[Outro:]

I wanted to believe in you and me

I wanted to believe in you and me

I wanted to believe
