I tried to tow the line
But I'm shakin' out the remnants now
We slept in my car that night
And I shivered 'til the sun came out
Oh the ecstasy of not being free!
I tore the last thread of my security
In the blank space of your starry face
Shaken awake
So I'll take one last look around at what we made
When I come back to ground
I dried my eyes outside
Some world outside my own
And a plastic bag gave my jacket back
If I ever feel better, I might take a step back out into night
We break our bread with fists
This isn't you now, but is this even me?
A coin-colored sky over a pale ornery
I never could, can, and now will understand
My mannequin hands almost feel real
I'm falling back to earth
So long for now
Going back to earth
Going back to ground
So long for now!
