Perseids
Lyrics
Drove until the town lights ended
Killed the engine, spread the coats
Middle of an August meadow
Watching heaven clear its throat
You said there before I saw it
I said there and you were slow
Now we're laughing at the darkness
Getting everything it throws
There is nothing here to keep, love
There's no picture worth the try
That's exactly why it's ours, love
No one owns a moving sky
Look up
There, and gone
Look up
Don't hold on
One breath
One bright line
Stay
Stay
Stay here while they shine
We're the same as what we're watching
Burning briefly, burning bright
And I wouldn't trade forever
For the way we're here tonight
Look up
There, and gone
Look up
Don't hold on
One breath
One bright line
Stay
Stay
Stay here while they shine
Wait for it
Don't blink now
Look up
There, and gone
Look up
Sing along
One breath
One bright life
Stay
Stay
Stay here while we shine
Nothing here is staying
So it's all completely ours
