Unguided

Lyrics

In every story, every secret told
 You are not the first to wake up
 To learn your lines before you have the part
 You woke up early and you walk up torn
 You the temporary boarder
 The heat wave humming in the house of cards
 You spun chapter into rapture there
 Yeah, you were as brave as traffic
 You chased the spotlight into her arms
 And you forgot that you could file the knot
 That you were still the person sleeping
 The heat wave humming in the house of cards
 A play for the girl
 A cross for a hook
 Sinking into the green sea wonder
 Under the sea
 Walking the floor
 Over the waves the wheeling thunder
 Something's unguided in the sky tonight
 There is something unguided in the sky
 You wrote yourself into a corner, safe
 Easy to defend your borders
 A fallen saint into a whispered time
 Killing time because I have to, why?
 Because it isn't mine, remember?
 Killing time because it wasn't mine
 You're earning your stripes
 You're counting the stars
 You're winding your barely-working watch
 You're lucky to be on a land like you are
 Lucky you've already become
 There's something unguided in the sky tonight
 There is something unguided in the sky
 And why wait
 For the weakened state
 To lie next
 To the weaker sex
 And why wait
 For the weakened state
 To lie next
 To the weaker sex
 You're earning your stripes
 You're counting the stars
 You're winding your barely-working watch
 You're lucky to be on a land like you are
 Lucky you've already become
 There's something unguided in the sky tonight
 There is something unguided in the sky
 There's something unguided in the sky tonight
 There is something unguided in the sky
