Lyrics

Continental Divide

Fumbling for your keys in a panic
Undercover garage is dampening the sound of the world walking tall all over you
And taking you for granted
Your sunset's dipping in subtle time
And mine was hanging low hours ago
And although you think you'd burned it up, too bad you still could call
And I know you're hopeful when you're unadorned
But I hoped that you would be unafraid

I was saying yes 'cause I was desperate for less
I guess the fact that we were trapped inside that room is all I got that's definite
And I prayed that sleep would take you for bit
'Til then, I held your shaking body in my hands

And the locust din was wearing thin in the evening, I suppose
And I knew you were preparing to be leaving to the coast

But what could I do right to keep you safe while you're in flight?
To keep the plane and all of that among its engines in the sky?
And what could I do right to keep your faith between the lines?
You know I'd take it all away from you, I'm trying to

But what could I do right from this side?
Situated right off the Continental Divide

And I know you're hopeful when you're unadorned
But I wish that you weren't so far away

What could I do right to keep you safe all of your life?
To keep the waves from rising higher than the cities in their sights?
And what could I do right to keep you weightless for a while?
You know I'd take this all away from you, I'm trying to

But the locust din was wearing thin in the evening, I suppose
And I know that you're preparing to be leaving to the coast
This whole month I wasted every morning fixing on the way we left it
And how we meant it, and how you meant it
The way you left it, and how I meant it
