Paroles de Twin Human Highway Flares

you turned to me and asked me if i'd always be your boy

as we drove across the river into western illinois

and on the railroad bridge, half a mile of solid steel
wheels were spitting out sparks, scraping at the rails

wind in your hair all right sunset spilling through the rear window

your white t-shirt hugging your shoulders, beaded with sweat

on the day that i become so forgetful that all of this melts away

i will burn all the calanders that counted the years down to such a worthless day



as we walked across the parking lot toward the motel office

we were walking with a benediction on us

light was everywhere, the building stood against the sky

like a monument to desperation 2 floors high
on the day that i forget you, i hope my heart explodes
