Minus The Bear Album

She said, "You look like a guy I used to know."
And she was right.
She stood biting her lip
Eyes upturned and then she said
"I know we've met before."
Transparent in the city today
Our basic program is the same
We're the only
I said, "You look too familiar to be wrong.
Just let me find the moment.
Let me find the face."
Dark eyes, dark hair
And looks that need a song.
"I think I loved you
But I forget the place."
We walk down the street we stand on
With our eyes on the sunset or dawn
Substances moving through our veins
You were the queen.
I was the king

Before we leave home, our night is still
And we lay on the bed fully dressed
This is a new thing
And we both deserve this,
One night with no one.
It's rare to feel this expensive
But next to a girl like her
It's impossible not to.
In this house, in this town.
Before we leave home, we are alone
And now new thoughts come
If the car won't start, would it be better if it did?
But I know it will
And this we'll lose
A moon to look to
From inside out
Without the lights on
It's still early
A bright 10:30
And we speed through the evening

Out here we don't hear anything
But the clicking of the rain
Against the leaves
And the way each other breathes (but you've got to listen)
Make this home--
We've never, we never had one.
Out here we turn out all the lights
And sit inside looking out
And the bay's still
She's wearing the night's expression.
Make this home--
We've never, we never had one.
We've never, we never had one.
Yeah, let's stop calling this a vacation.
(We're just here for two nights.)
Count the beats of your heart
And no city streets to break up cars
We can lie here
We are the only ones
Every song plays just for us

At noon the wind comes through
Across the bay on a clear day
And I can watch the boats come in and set their anchors
And my folks are away at the store
So I don't have to listen to anyone say anything.
And I swim out as far as I can
And float on my back
Just waiting for nothing.
I hope they never come back to this house.
It's a lot more fun alone.
I can do anything I want
And so I'm swimming
More like floating
And I'll just stay out here
Until the night comes crashing down
And I swim out as far as I can
And float on my back
Just waiting for nothing.
They always come home
At the wrong time
Like when I'm all right
And don't need no one at all

We're racing through the dark
On a road along the sore
And the law says we should stop
So we break a couple more
With the windows all down
We just throw the cans out
And now you're laughing through the wind
Swearing we won't do it again.
We're off too much now
But the pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
But we're too young for ourselves
We're racing through the dark
Down the back by the pier
And you ran into the sea
Like a cop without fear
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
"You're gonna ruin your shoes!"
You waded through the bay
Like you do it everyday
The bay is so uncertain
It's too cold but we swim
Rain could come at any moment
The gray sky's closing in.
I couldnt' sleep for days
And I couldnt' move
You couldn't come too soon
To break me from that room
And now I'll sleep for days
But in a different place

You raise your eyes to mine,
Like the sunrise.
Your eyes move me,
Like the nightfall.

How can we claim that we know ourselves?
But you can only...
How can we claim that we know ourselves?
But you can only...

You raise your eyes to mine,
Like the sunrise.
Your eyes move me,
Like the nightfall.

How can we claim that we know ourselves?
But you can only...
How can we claim that we know ourselves?
But you can only...
