Laugh Lines
Paper well wishes
Distract from the distance
With tentative optimism
Be it pins on a map or
Walls inside your mind
Your trepidation shows through your laugh lines
Oh, I know it's been months now
I saw the phone calls die out
Blue light turned cancerous, comparisons
You pulled the corners of the canvas together
Bags packed you left for better weather
But you've got your convictions
You built a framework on the south side with them
And I've got my excuses
But I've been working on my disposition
I found my regrets
Turned to stone in my pockets
When I waded off the shore with them
And tried to swim
I won't let them pull me down
No I won't drown in the snowmelt
Our time together brought into this town
I won't
Yeah I've got my convictions
I built a framework on the north side with them
And you've got hesitations
Trust me it's worth the time it takes to kill them
I want peace with the balance
Not a tangled tightrope dizzy cadence
While we sit always hoping
That the steps we take get less exhausting
Distract from the distance
With tentative optimism
Be it pins on a map or
Walls inside your mind
Your trepidation shows through your laugh lines
Oh, I know it's been months now
I saw the phone calls die out
Blue light turned cancerous, comparisons
You pulled the corners of the canvas together
Bags packed you left for better weather
But you've got your convictions
You built a framework on the south side with them
And I've got my excuses
But I've been working on my disposition
I found my regrets
Turned to stone in my pockets
When I waded off the shore with them
And tried to swim
I won't let them pull me down
No I won't drown in the snowmelt
Our time together brought into this town
I won't
Yeah I've got my convictions
I built a framework on the north side with them
And you've got hesitations
Trust me it's worth the time it takes to kill them
I want peace with the balance
Not a tangled tightrope dizzy cadence
While we sit always hoping
That the steps we take get less exhausting
