Grand Junction

[Verse 1]

That punk with a mustache who brought us our breakfast

Never came back with the check

On our third day of driving with no expectations

Except some vague sense of The West

[Chorus]

Our silence was stretched between nerves and the knowledge

The ring that she wore wasn't mine

Because people get tired and they turn on each other

And the rivers run from the dividеs

That night we drove into Grand Junction the lights wеre

Weeping and deep and divine

She said I trust that we'll get somewhere safe by the storm

But I'm scared of the size of this sky

[Verse 2]

Janie, I fear that our love from last year

Was a tenor that's hard to maintain

Lost half what we had through a hole in the bag

And the cellophane won't take the blame

[Chorus]

If we stretch out our funds we can get through the month

But at some point there must come a time

That we sell something shipped from the wishes you list

For the guys that you talk with online

She said mister if you're thinking that far ahead

Can you see where we live when we get to the end of this?

Besides you don't like when I lean on those kinds of friends

[Bridge]

It hurts being human

But our instincts will keep us alive

We do what we do to survive

[Chorus]

On the next day of driving with no real direction

Except for the sunset out west

She said I like having friends who check out and check in

So what if they send me some gifts?

In Grand Junction it seemed all the mountains were mocking

Our own little pitiful lives

On the side of the road with her arms in the air

Amazed by the size of the sky
